Relates to the establishment of regional arts and cultural affairs grants

This bill establishes 10 regional grant programs across New York State for arts, cultural, and parks capital projects. It creates regional councils in each of the 10 defined areas (like Long Island, NYC, and the Finger Lakes) to award competitive grants to local organizations. Grants must be distributed equally between large organizations (over $10M budget in NYC, $5M elsewhere) and smaller ones, with councils composed of 5 governor-appointed members, 1 Assembly-appointed member, and 1 Senate-appointed member. The bill prohibits re-granting to the same organization within three years and caps parks funding at 50% of annual grants.
