          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The civil rights law is amended by  adding  a  new  section

     3    §  79-r. Handicap accessible playground equipment. Pursuant to section
     4  forty of this chapter, all state parks with a playground  shall  contain
     5  one  swing  set  which  is  accessible to children with a disability for
     6  their use and enjoyment. The handicap accessible swing set must  include
     7  a  wheelchair  accessible  platform swing and a high backed full support
     8  seat.  For the purposes of this section the term "disability" shall have
     9  the same meaning as defined in section two  hundred  ninety-two  of  the
    10  executive  law.  To  the  extent practicable, such accessible playground
    11  equipment shall be incorporated into the layout of  the  existing  play-
    12  ground or proposed playground plan.
