While some of these bills do not appear to have direct link to Conservation, they are an integral part of conservation in Western and ultimately New York State e.g. Fire-arm regulations, wind turbines and wind farms, term limits, recall bills, and salaries of elected state officials and legislators as well as some statewide insurance requirements are just a few of the crossovers we need to be aware of.
