S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8356 I N S E N A T E January 22, 2024 ___________ Introduced by Sen. MAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law and the state finance law, in relation to enacting the "harmful algal bloom monitoring and prevention act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "harmful algal bloom monitoring and prevention act". § 2. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature finds that the state of New York has a responsibility to maintain the health and safety of its abundant clean water resources, upon which the residents of New York state, as well as its many visitors, rely on for drinking, agriculture, tourism, recreation, and their livelihoods. Because the waters of the state are under threat by harmful algal blooms (HABS), which are known to be toxic and even fatal to humans, pets, and wild- life, the state has a responsibility to provide coordinated, statewide monitoring, evaluation, prevention and mitigation, going beyond water body-specific data collection and isolated mitigation efforts. While the causes of HABS are complex and varied, with a coordinated and standard- ized approach to monitoring and evaluation, patterns can more readily be identified to isolate the combination of relevant causes specific to different bodies of water across the state and determine the most effec- tive targeted interventions. To address this threat, the state must develop and maintain a comprehensive state clearinghouse to bring together existing and new available statewide cross-sectional and longi- tudinal data and information on HABS, potential and known causes, best practice interventions, expertise, and funding resources. This data and subsequent report will enable the state to effectively and efficiently administer a central grant program supporting data-driven best practices in prevention and mitigation of harmful algal blooms. § 3. The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new section 15-0519 to read as follows: § 15-0519. HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM MONITORING AND PREVENTION PROGRAM. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
