BILL NUMBER:S4762 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to expanding the definition of "public body" for purposes of conservation easements PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Includes the federal government within the definition of "public body" for purposes of conservation easements SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Adds the federal government to the "public body" definition of subdivision 3 of section 49-0303 of the environmental conservation law, as amended by chapter 45 of the laws of 1997. JUSTIFICATION: Currently federal entities, such as our National Parks, are not included in the definition of public body for purposes of conservation easement. This bill will add federal entities to the definition of public body so that a conservation easement may be enforced in law or equity by its grantor, its holder or by a public body or any not-for-profit conservation organization designated in the easement as having a third party enforcement right.
