Establishes the New York state park police

This bill establishes the New York State Park Police as an independent law enforcement agency under the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner. It ensures the park police operate separately from the New York State Police while allowing coordination on training, emergencies, and other shared concerns. The bill formalizes this structure by amending existing law to create the agency and define its operational independence.
