 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 5, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism,
 Parks and Recreation

 AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
 relation to creating the "Women's rights history trail" program

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

 1 Section 1. The parks, recreation and historic preservation law is
 2 amended by adding a new article 42 to read as follows:
 3 ARTICLE 42
 4 WOMEN'S RIGHTS HISTORY TRAIL PROGRAM
 5 Section 42.01 Legislative intent.
 6 42.03 Definitions.
 7 42.05 General functions, powers and duties of the commissioner.
 8 § 42.01 Legislative intent. The legislature recognizes that the
 9 women's rights movement is one of the three great protest traditions in
 10 United States history, sharing that status with the struggle for racial
 11 equality and the labor movements.
 12 The legislature further recognizes that the women's rights movement
 13 has a strong tradition in the state. In the nineteenth century the
 14 state was at the cutting edge of the women's rights movement. On July
 15 19, 1848, a group of activists including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucre-
 16 tia Mott and Mary Ann M'Clintock, convened the first Women's Rights
 17 Convention at Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls. During the convention, 68
 18 women and 32 men signed the Declaration of Sentiments calling for a
 19 broad array of rights for women, including suffrage. In 1868, Susan B.
 20 Anthony helped to found the American Equal Rights Association. In 1890,
 21 under her leadership and the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the
 22 National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was formed. NAWSA
 23 was instrumental in securing passage of the 19th amendment, which
 24 amended the Constitution to give women the right to vote. The 19th

 S. 6109 2

 1 amendment was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and was ratified on
 2 August 18, 1920. Susan B. Anthony also campaigned for the rights of
 3 women to own property, to keep their own earnings, and to have custody
 4 of their children. In 1900, she persuaded the University of Rochester to
 5 admit women. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the women's
 6 movement expanded to play a critical role in shaping policies on educa-
 7 tion, legal reform, and economic and social welfare. The legislature
 8 recognizes that there are many notable women in the state who fought for
 9 women's suffrage. It is therefore the intent of this legislature to have
 10 created a program that will systematically identify properties and sites
 11 for inclusion into a women's rights history trail. By creating a
 12 women's rights history trail, the state will encourage the education
 13 about and awareness of the important role of women in the state in the
 14 women's rights movement and their contribution to history as well as
 15 attract visitors to the state and enhance the state's tourism trade.
 16 Further it is the intent of the legislature to ensure that the women's
 17 rights history trail is adequately signed so that travelers may follow
 18 the trail independently and with ease.
 19 § 42.03 Definitions. As used in this article the
