S 2686 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a commission on hosting the olympic games

S 2686 creates a 13-member commission to study Lake Placid's potential to host the Olympic Games with a partner municipality. The commission, appointed by the governor, legislative leaders, and the state Olympic authority, must identify suitable partner communities and determine feasibility by February 1, 2027, then report findings to the governor and legislature. This bill does not fund or commit to hosting the Games but establishes a process to evaluate options. The commission will have authority to hire staff, request state data, and hold hearings as needed.
