New York A04660 confirms the trustees of the Freeholders and the Commonalty of Southampton's authority to enforce public easement and access on ocean beaches, including rights granted by the Dongan Patent of 1686. It extinguishes the Trustees for the Proprietors of Southampton and clarifies ownership of underwater lands and products. The act defines "ocean beaches" as areas between the primary dune crest and the high water mark of the Atlantic Ocean. It also ensures the trustees retain powers under chapter 283 of the laws of 1831 and does not affect village powers within Southampton.
