Requires the commissioner of parks, recreation and historic preservation to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the public using facilities under its jurisdiction, which shall include ensuring a minimum staff of three hundred eighty-five permanently appointed, full time regional state park police officers at state parks, beaches, campgrounds, historic sites and concert venues; makes related provisions.

The bill requires New York's parks and recreation commissioner to ensure public safety at state facilities by maintaining a minimum of 385 full-time park police officers. These officers would be stationed at state parks, beaches, campgrounds, historic sites, and concert venues to protect visitors. This aims to enhance the overall health, safety, and welfare of the public using these facilities.

Supporters of the bill argue that having a dedicated team of park police will significantly improve safety for families and individuals enjoying New York's natural and historical sites. They believe that adequate staffing will help prevent crime and ensure a more secure environment for all visitors, ultimately promoting greater public use of these facilities.

Critics might argue that the bill could lead to unnecessary spending on staffing, diverting funds from other important areas like park maintenance and conservation. They may also express concerns about the potential for over-policing in recreational spaces, which could deter visitors and create a less welcoming atmosphere.
