Summary

The legislation continues the New York State Geological Survey as a bureau of the New York State Science Service located in the state museum. It tasks the survey with inventorying, researching, publishing and advising on the state's rocks, minerals, hazards and energy resources, and makes it the official agency for producing geological maps. The bill also limits the survey’s ability to enter private land without owner consent and takes effect immediately.
