BILL NUMBER:S7131 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to designation and amendment of trails Purpose of the Bill: The bill would authorize the Department of Agriculture and Markets (DAM) to designate and alter wine trails and farm beverage trails without altering the ability to so designate trails by ad hoc legislation. Summary of Provisions: Section 1 of the bill would amend Agriculture and Markets Law (AML) 284-a to (i) add definitions for "wine trail" and "farm beverage trail" to authorize DAM to designate such trails in the same manner in which DAM may already may establish farm trails, apple trails and cuisine trails; (ii) update the entities with which DAM must consult when designating trails to include the Chairman of the State Liquor Authority and the Commissioner of Economic Development, and (iii) provide more flexibility to DAM when designating apple, farm, cuisine, wine and farm beverage trails. Existing Law: Currently, AML § 284-a authorizes DAM to designate farm trails, apple trails, and cuisine trails, but does not specifically authorize the designation of wine trails or farm beverage trails. Several wine trails have been designated by statute in Highway Law
