Establishes standards for closing segments of the Empire State Trail and requires notice to the public.

The bill amends the parks, recreation, and historic preservation law by adding a new section on the Empire State Trail. It mandates the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation to establish standards for closing trail segments and to inform the public of such closures. Trail owners must keep segments open when practicable and notify authorities of any closures due to construction or safety concerns. The authorities will then coordinate with the owner to plan detour routes and post signage.
