New York State Insider: State Senator Pete Harckham: Senate Passes Two of My Environmental Bills on Earth Day.

 

Two environmental bills that I sponsored passed in the state Senate’s “Earth Day” legislation package. One bill (S.1725A) protects Class C streams and waterways, and another bill (S.5331) expands food scraps recycling. The streams bill is designed to ensure the quality of drinking water and permits residents to enjoy activities on certain waterways; and the food bill is good for the environment and will help feed many residents. I am pictured making the announcement about the legislation.
