BILL NUMBER: S3055

SPONSOR: HELMING
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
relation to requiring goods sold at retail at state parks, recreational
facilities and historic sites to be produced or manufactured in the
United States

 
PURPOSE:

Requires all goods, except food, sold at retail in state parks, recre-
ational facilities and historic sites to be produced in the United
States.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Sections 1: Adds a new section 13.08 to the parks, recreation and
historic Preservation law to require all goods, except food, sold at
retail in State parks, recreational facilities and historic sites to be
produced in the United States.

Section 2: Provides an effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Over 56 million people visit New York's parks, recreational facilities
and historic sites each year. These facilities are home to gift shops
selling all manner of products. It is disheartening to realize, however,
that the vast majority of these product sales benefit workers in foreign
countries, particularly China, since very little of the products sold
are produced domestically. In fact, according to the Economic Policy
Institute (EPI), the U.S. China trade deficit has eliminated or
displaced nearly 2.8 million U.S. jobs since 2001, about 2% of all jobs
lost in that period. While these job losses have hit all 50 states, New
York has suffered some of the biggest net losses in terms of the total
number of jobs displaced. With both the national and state unemployment
rates remaining stubbornly high, government should be doing everything
possible to encourage job creation right here at home.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2021-2022: S.6366 referred to Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and
Recreation/A.7539 referred to Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Develop-
ment

2019-2020: S.1261 referred to Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and
Recreation

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Undetermined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have
become a law.
