                                BILL NUMBER:S2747

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
relation to providing for a three-year and
a five-year access fee

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To provide for a three and five-year general access pass for all state
Parks.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill would provide that the Office of Parks, Recreation, and
Historic Preservation shall offer for purchase a three-year and
five-year general access pass for all State Parks. Such permit would
be called the 'Three-year Empire Passport' and the "Five-year Empire
Passport".

EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER:
There is currently a one-year general access pass for State parks
called the Empire Passport.

JUSTIFICATION:
The New York State Parks system was the first of its kind in the
united States. By understanding the intrinsic value of our state's

natural beauty and historical significance, previous generations of
New Yorkers have made this pioneering spirit their legacy, Now, when
faced with incredibly hard choices brought on by a dire recession,
New Yorkers must once again find ways to protect our parks and
historic sites.

By creating a three and five-year version of the Empire Passport, we
offer the opportunity for the citizens of New York State to invest in
their parks, as well as in the legacy we hope to pass on to
generations to come. This Empire Passport would not only increase
revenue but also encourage natural stewardship and offer a discounted
rate for families seeking economical opportunities for education and
entertainment.
