 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 6 pilot program for the purpose of public safety. Under such program, the
 7 department shall install blue lighted emergency phones that, when used,
 8 shall automatically dial 9-1-1 and ring directly to the police depart-
 9 ment.
 10 § 2. The commissioner of parks and recreation shall cause a study to
 11 be performed to analyze how the implementation of blue light emergency
 12 phones pilot program in parks impacts public safety compared to parks
 13 without such a program.
 14 § 3. On or before three hundred sixty-five days after all five
 15 locations identified for the blue light emergency phones pilot program
 16 have become operational, the commissioner of parks and recreation shall
 17 complete the study conducted pursuant to section two of this act and
 18 shall thereafter deliver a copy of the findings of the study and any
 19 legislative recommendations deemed to be necessary to the governor, the
 20 temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly and the
 21 mayor of the city of New York.
 22 § 4. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 23 have become a law.
