        Introduced  by M. of A. RAMOS -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development
 
        AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law,  in
          relation to prohibiting the mandated use of credit cards as a means of
          payment to use certain facilities at a state park, recreational facil-
          ity or historic site
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 5  of  section  13.15  of  the
     2  parks, recreation and historic preservation law, as added by chapter 296
     3  of the laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (a)  The office or other state agency having jurisdiction of any state
     5  park, parkway, recreational facility or historic  site  may  enter  into
     6  agreements  with  one  or  more  financing  agencies  to provide for the
     7  acceptance by such office or other state agency of  credit  cards  as  a
     8  means  of  payment  of  fees  for  the  use of its facilities or for the
     9  furnishing of special services with respect thereto. Any such  agreement
    10  shall govern the terms and conditions upon which a credit card proferred
    11  as a means of payment of such fees shall be accepted or declined and the
    12  manner  in  and  conditions upon which the financing agency shall pay to
    13  the office or other state agency the amount of such fees paid  by  means
    14  of  a  credit  card  pursuant  to such agreement. Any such agreement may
    15  provide for the deduction by such financing agency of any fees  for  the
    16  services  provided  by  such financing agency from fees collected by it.
    17  The office or other state agency having jurisdiction of any state  park,
    18  recreational  facility  or  historic  site must accept cash payment from
    19  patrons, and is prohibited from requiring  that  any  patron  utilize  a
    20  credit  card as a means of payment of fees for the use of its facilities
    21  or for the furnishing of special services at any state park, recreation-
    22  al facility or historic site.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
