S 5227: Relates to the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex in Essex County

This bill amends the state constitution to allow limited uses of forest preserve land while maintaining its core protection. It permits specific highway construction (up to 300 acres total), ski trail development (up to 25 miles on Whiteface, Belleayre, and Gore/Pete Gay mountains), and land exchanges with municipalities for public purposes like airport extensions, cemeteries, and water wells. The bill requires legislative approval for land exchanges and ensures the state receives land of equal value in return.

The bill does not address the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex, as its title suggests, but focuses on constitutional changes to forest preserve regulations.
