TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
relation to the membership of the Michigan Street African American
Heritage Corridor commission

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill will add a representative of the Langston Hughes Institute as
a voting member to the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corri-
dor Commission, change the date by which the Michigan Street African
American Heritage Corridor Commission must submit for approval to the
Commissioner a draft management plan and change the date when Article 41
expires to conform to such date. The plan must be submitted by July 31,
2013.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill amends section 41.05 and section one of subdivision 2 of
section 41.09 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law, as
added by Chapter 595 of the Laws of 2007.  The draft management plan
shall be submitted to the Commissioner for approval by July 31, 2013.
The bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 595 of the Laws of 2007 to extend
Article 41 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law to

The Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission was
designated as part of New York's system of heritage area in 2007. The
Commission encompasses the geographical east side of downtown Buffalo,
in Erie County. It encompasses the J. Edward Nash House, Michigan Street
Baptist Church, the Langston Hughes Institute, and the Colored Musicians
Club, associated with and revealing of a historic role as the center of
African-American history, culture and reform activities. The importance
of the Commission's mission to develop the heritage corridor to function
as a destination for both academic research and tourism is imperative.
To further the Commission's purpose, it must have a dedicated funding
source.

This legislation would give the Michigan Street African American Herit-
age Corridor Commission additional time to submit their plan to the
Commissioner for approval.

None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
