S 8938: Includes the county of Sullivan within the definition of a designated community

This bill (S 8938) amends New York State law to include Sullivan County within the definition of a "designated community" for community preservation funds. It updates two sections of state law (General Municipal Law §6-s and Tax Law §1560) to explicitly list Sullivan County alongside Putnam, Ulster, and Westchester as qualifying counties. This change directly affects Sullivan County municipalities, allowing them to access community preservation funds previously available only to the other three Hudson Valley counties. The bill makes a technical definitional update with no new funding mechanisms or eligibility criteria beyond expanding the geographic scope.
