                                 BILL NUMBER:  S4753

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic
preservation law, in relation to prohibiting the possession of
concealed firearms in parks, campgrounds and other public recreation
areas

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL : to prohibit the possession of
concealed firearms in any park, campground or other recreation area

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : the parks, recreation and historical
preservation law is amended by adding a new section 13.31 which will
enact the prohibition of concealed firearms in parks, campgrounds and
other public recreation areas. Except as provided in this section and
otherwise specifically permitted in law, no person, other than a
member of a federal, state or municipal law enforcement agency, shall
introduce or possess, either upon his or her person or within a
vehicle or other place of storage, any concealed firearm in any
federal, state or municipal park, campground or other publicly
dedicated recreation area.

The prohibition in subdivision one of this section shall not apply: to
any campground under jurisdiction of the department of environmental
conservation only during the spring and fall hunting seasons and
Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation where hunting is
permitted by a rule or regulation of a regional park, recreation and

historic preservation commission; and to any person employed by a
private security firm which has contracted with the public agency
having jurisdiction over the park, campground or public recreation
area for services on the property under the jurisdiction, custody and
control of such public agency who shall be permitted, with the
approval of such public agency, to carry or possess a concealed
firearm supplied by his/her employer in the course of his/her
employment on such property, provided that such person is licensed
pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law and meets such minimum
qualifications as may be established by such public agency. In
addition, any firm providing security services on park land,
campgrounds or other publicly dedicated recreation area lands shall
provide public liability insurance, naming the appropriate federal
government, state or municipal agency as an insured part y, in such
amounts as the public agency with jurisdiction shall require.

A violation of the provisions of this section shall be subject to a
civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars.

 JUSTIFICATION : anew Federal Regulation (36 CFR Part 2 and 50 CFR
Part 27) enacted in December, 2008 allows for the carrying of
concealed weapons in National Parks and National Wildlife Areas by
those licensed to carry such weapons by State law. This new federal
regulation creates confusing, burdensome, and unnecessary
inconsistencies regarding firearm regulations as it conflicts with
current State Park and DEC rules prohibiting the carrying of concealed
firearms. In the interest of public safety and the protection of
natural resources, as well as consistency of statute among State,
Federal and Municipal parklands, it is necessary to prohibit the
possession of concealed firearms in any park, campground or other
public recreation area within the State.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE : First of November after enactment.

cated recreation areas except, as specifically provided by law.

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law,
in relation to prohibiting the possession of concealed firearms in
national parks and national wildlife refuge systems


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL :
To prohibit the possession of concealed firearms in any national park
or national wildlife refuge system

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
The parks, recreation and historical preservation law is amended by
adding a new section 13.31 which will enact the prohibition of
concealed firearms in national parks and national wildlife refuge
systems. Except as provided in this section and otherwise specifically
permitted in law, no person, other than a member of a federal, state
or municipal law enforcement agency, shall introduce or possess,
either upon his or her person or within a vehicle or other place of
storage, any concealed firearm in any national park or national
wildlife refuge system.

The prohibition in subdivision one of this section shall not apply: to
privately owned residences within national parks and national wildlife
refuge systems and to the extent the firearm is used in connection

with hunting where authorized by state and federal law.

A violation of the provisions of this section shall be subject to a
civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars.

 JUSTIFICATION :
An amendment to the Federal Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights Act of
2009 (H.R. 627) turns back a federal regulation in place since 1983
that prohibited the carrying of concealed weapons in national parks
and national wildlife refuge systems. This amendment allows, however,
for the state's to regulate the carrying of concealed weapons within
national parks and national wildlife refuge systems. Allowing for the
carrying of concealed weapons in New York State's national parks and
national wildlife refuge systems creates a confusing, burdensome, and
unnecessary inconsistencies regarding firearm regulations as it
conflicts with current State Park add DEC rules prohibiting the
carrying of concealed firearms except during hunting season by
licensed hunters during regulated seasons.

In the interest of public safety and the protection of natural
resources, as well as consistency of statute among State and Federal
parklands, it is necessary to prohibit the possession of concealed
firearms in any national park and national wildlife refuge system
within the State.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
