                                 BILL NUMBER:  S4084

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law,
in relation to requiring the collection of recyclable materials at
state parks, state historic sites and state recreational facilities;
to amend the general municipal law, in relation to encouraging
municipalities to establish and implement programs for the collection
of recyclable materials that are discarded in parks, playgrounds,
historic sites and other recreational facilities; and to amend the
environmental conservation law, in relation to providing state
assistance therefor to municipalities

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

The bill would reduce waste management costs for State and local
governments by requiring recycling in parks, historic sites and other
facilities, as well as encouraging users of these facilities to carry
out the waste they generate.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

The bill amends the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law to
require the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to
establish recycling programs in all State parks, historic sites and

recreational facilities under its jurisdiction. The General Municipal
Law is also amended to encourage local governments to do the same. In
addition, OPRHP and local governments may post signs in these
facilities encouraging users to carry out their waste. The bill also
allows municipalities to apply to grants from the Environmental
Protection Fund to support these recycling programs.

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE) :

 JUSTIFICATION :

The State should set the standard for recycling in their facilities,
thereby encouraging others, including municipalities to do the same.
Not only will this reduce garbage generated in the facilities, but
reduce costs of garbage removal. OPRHP and some municipalities have
initiated some voluntary recycling programs. This bill would ensure
that these State recycling programs continue, regardless of changes in
policy or management, along with encourage municipalities to keep
their programs in place.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2007-08 A10390 reported referred to ways and means
2009-10 A6103 passed assembly
2011-12 A4599 referred to tourism, parks, arts and sports development
2013-14 A5627 referred to tourism, parks, arts and sports development
2015-16 A819 referred to tourism, parks, arts and sports development

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :

This bill should reduce waste management costs for state and local
governments in facilities where they operate and encourage the removal
of garbage generated by the users of these facilities.

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