 January 9, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. SERRANO, KRUEGER -- read twice and ordered printed,

 Tourism, Parks and Recreation

 AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
 relation to requiring the office of parks, recreation and historic
 preservation to acquire all mineral rights to real property acquired
 by such office

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 3.17 of the parks, recreation and
 2 historic preservation law, as amended by chapter 727 of the laws of
 3 1978, is amended to read as follows:
 4 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the commissioner may
 5 acquire such property as may be necessary for the purposes and functions
 6 of the office, within the amounts appropriated or available therefore.
 7 Such property may be acquired pursuant to the provisions of the eminent
 8 domain procedure law, or by purchase, lease, exchange, grant, condemna-
 9 tion, gift, devise, bequest, or by any other lawful means. No real prop-
 10 erty shall be so acquired unless the title thereto is approved by the
 11 attorney general. Provided, further, that no real property shall be
 12 acquired, received, held or administered by the commissioner unless the
 13 mineral rights on and under such land are also acquired by the commis-
 14 sioner in the name of the people of the state of New York; provided,
 15 however, that the commissioner may acquire, receive, hold or administer
 16 real property to which the commissioner has not acquired the mineral
 17 rights thereto in any case in which the commissioner finds that such
 18 real property is of great significance and importance to the state.
 19 Prior to the acquisition, receipt, holding or administration of real
 20 property by the office to which the commissioner has not acquired the
 21 mineral rights thereto, the commissioner shall issue an analytical
 22 report that provides justification and the rationale for such property

 1 acquisition, notwithstanding the lack of the mineral rights thereto,
 2 including but not limited to a description of the real property, the
 3 significance and importance of the land to the state, and the economic
 4 benefits and impacts and local impacts of acquiring such real property.
 5 At least one month after the issuance of such report, the office shall
 6 conduct one or more public hearings, with at least one such hearing in
 7 the impacted area, and such actions shall be published in the environ-
 8 mental notice bulletin at least one month prior to such hearing.
 9 Notwithstanding the provisions of section eleven of the state finance
 10 law, the commissioner may accept a conditional grant, gift, devise or
 11 bequest with the approval of the director of the budget. Title to real
 12 property which is acquired shall be taken in the name of and be vested
 13 in the people of the state of New York.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to real
 15 property acquired or received on or after such date.
