Includes the county of Orange within the definition of a designated community
This bill amends two sections of New York law to include Orange County in the definition of "designated community" for community preservation funds. It directly affects towns and cities within Orange County, allowing them to access these funds alongside existing communities in Putnam, Ulster, and Westchester counties. The change modifies the legal definitions in the General Municipal Law and Tax Law to explicitly add Orange County to the qualifying list. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
