S 9062: Adds Salmon Creek in Monroe County to the definition of inland waterways

This bill amends New York State law to add "Salmon Creek in Monroe County" to the official list of inland waterways eligible for waterfront revitalization programs. It directly affects existing state programs that use this definition to allocate resources for improving waterfront areas. The key change is a simple addition to a legal list - no new funding or regulations are created. This allows Salmon Creek in Monroe County to be included in current revitalization efforts without altering program requirements. The bill has been referred to the Environmental Conservation committee for further review.
