New York S01247 amends the general municipal law to require public hearings in municipalities with populations under one million when the state or an organization plans to convert land to public use. These hearings must be held with the town board, planning board, or zoning board of the municipality where the land is located. The bill also mandates that the municipality provide at least ten days' notice of the hearing to the community, both on the municipality's website and via mail to properties within a five-mile radius of the proposed land conversion. This act takes effect immediately.
