Relates to state policy regarding the preservation of the unique qualities of the nighttime sky

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to explicitly include preserving the "unique qualities of the nighttime sky" as a state policy goal. It directs state agencies to prioritize protecting natural night skies in designated areas like the Adirondack and Catskill forest preserves, state parks, farms, and open spaces. The policy change requires agencies to consider nighttime sky preservation when managing land use and development, alongside existing environmental goals. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
