S 8483 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes the establishment of permanent Covid-19 memorials and establishes a Covid-19 permanent memorial fund

This bill authorizes New York state and its municipalities to create permanent memorials honoring those affected by COVID-19. It establishes a dedicated state fund to support these memorials through grants, donations, and other financial contributions. The law requires that memorial designs and locations be chosen through a community-driven process that prioritizes input from families and loved ones of victims. Additionally, the bill sets up specific financial rules to keep the memorial fund separate from other state money and allows for investment of unused funds.
