Requires the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation to prohibit the sale of single use plastic and polystyrene foam in state parks
This bill requires New York's state parks to ban the sale of single-use plastic items and polystyrene foam containers (like takeout containers and cups) within park facilities. The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation must implement this prohibition, directly affecting park visitors who purchase these items and vendors operating within state parks. The law adds a specific provision to the parks code, taking effect 180 days after enactment. It focuses on reducing plastic waste at state park locations without specifying enforcement details or environmental outcomes.
