A 5338 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides free use of state parks to family members of deceased military

This bill provides free access to all state parks for immediate family members of military personnel who died while serving in active duty during a declared war. It directly affects families of deceased service members who meet the wartime service criteria. The key provision requires parks to waive all fees for these families while applying the same rules as general public users. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment, with rules for implementation to be finalized before that date.
