S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6606 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E April 28, 2023 ___________ Introduced by Sen. MAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, the parks, recre- ation and historic preservation law, and the executive law, in relation to authorizing the attorney general to approve certain state land acquisitions made for the purposes of land conservation THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that in order to achieve our state's land protection goals as promoted in the Climate Action Plan, the "30 by 30" land conservation law (chapter 747 of the laws of 2022), and the financial commitment within the 2022 Bond Act, additional measures are needed to accelerate the process whereby the state acquires land. Specifically, the review process by the attorney general's office can be streamlined by enabling the use of title insurance. This will also relieve land trusts of the financial burden of holding onto land, in trust, for years at a time. Further, it will reduce the backlog of pending acquisitions that is unnecessarily jeopardizing the solvency of many of these organizations. § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 3-0305 of the environmental conservation law, as added by chapter 727 of the laws of 1978, is amended to read as follows: 1. The commissioner when moneys therefor have been appropriated by the legislature or are otherwise available, may acquire any real property which he OR SHE deems necessary for any of the purposes or functions of the department, by purchase or as provided in the eminent domain proce- dure law. Title to such real property shall be taken in the name of and be vested in the people of the state of New York. No real property shall be so acquired by purchase unless the title thereto is approved by the attorney general. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHALL APPROVE ANY TITLE WHERE IT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE CURRENT OWNER CAN CONVEY MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
