 AN  ACT to establish a blue ribbon commission on fair competition in the
   outdoor recreation industry; and providing  for  the  repeal  of  such
   provisions upon the expiration thereof

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. a. The legislature hereby declares that fair competition in
 the outdoor recreation industry is  important  and  desirable  and  that
 issues  surrounding the public ownership of outdoor recreational facili-
 ties, including but not limited to, golf, ski and camping facilities and
 the impact of such facilities on privately  owned  outdoor  recreational
 facilities  should  be  examined.  As such, it is determined that a blue
 ribbon commission on competitive issues relating to the public ownership
 of outdoor recreational  facilities  shall  be  established  to  examine
 whether  such  facilities  enjoy  unfair competitive advantages and make
 recommendations regarding methods to address any such unfair competitive
 advantages. Such commission shall submit a report and recommendations to
 the governor and the legislature upon completion of such examination.
   b. A blue ribbon commission on fair competition in the outdoor  recre-
 ation  industry  is  hereby  established  to  examine, evaluate and make
 recommendations regarding methods to promote  fair  competition  in  the
 outdoor  recreation  industry.  For purposes of this act "outdoor recre-
 ation industry" shall include, but not be limited to, golf, camping  and
 ski facilities. The subject areas to be examined by the commission shall
 include, but not be limited to, the following:
   (1)  a  comparison of the following between public and privately owned
 outdoor recreational facilities:
   (a) tax treatment;
   (b) equipment cost differences;
   (c) advertising and promotion costs;
   (d) personnel and employee benefit costs;
   (e) interest and borrowing costs;
