A04822 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4822
 
SPONSOR: Woerner
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to the historic business preservation registry   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to increase the number of qualified busi- nesses - those in operation for at least fifty years - which an elected official may nominate to the historic business registry each term.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends subdivision 3 of section 14.11 of the parks, recre- ation and historic preservation law to increase the number of nomi- nations to the historic business registry permitted per elected official per term. § 2: establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: State law first established the historic business registry in 2021 and permitted members of the New York State Assembly and Senate, as well as the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, to nominate up to two qualified businesses per term to the registry. This program has been incredibly successful! New York has so many small businesses that have helped shape the history, heritage and identity of the communities they serve. Many of these small businesses were hurt hard by the pandemic. An increase to the number of permitted nominations per term will enable elected offi- cials to bring awareness to and honor more of these iconic businesses which, through their sustained presence, have served a vital role in the essence of their communities. Inclusion on the registry recognizes their excellence and provides them with access to educational and promotional assistance to help ensure their continued viability and success.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
