S 546 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the classification of historical lands and buildings located within the forest preserve

This bill requires state agencies to consider historical classification for lands and buildings within New York's forest preserve that are listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It mandates that agencies, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation, include this consideration when developing unit management plans. The change affects historic properties currently within forest preserve boundaries that meet National Register criteria. The law does not alter existing protections but adds a formal step to evaluate historical significance during planning. (4 sentences)
