Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section one of the bill : Adds a new subdivision (c) of section 8 of chapter 799 of the laws of 2021 to limit the application of the reverter clause related to the restoration of the Armory Building and the annex until the owner receives the certificate of occupancy, at which time the reverter would be extinguished, and maintains a reverter of the dedi- cated space for veterans organization. Adds a new subdivision (d)of chapter 799 of the laws of 2021 to clarify that, despite the removal of the reverter, the state shall still have enforcement mechanisms to enforce the conditions established in subdivision (b) of chapter 799 of the laws of 2021 Section two establishes the effective date.

The sponsor's argument

Why Shelley Mayer says this is needed

This bill would make changes to the underlying legislation in Chapter 799 of 2021, which allowed the dedication of new waterfront parkland as part of a development project, with the requirement to preserve the armory building, including the annex, and maintain a dedicated space for veterans organization use at no or a de minimis rental amount as approved by the city council.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
