Section 15-2705. Jurisdiction of the commissioner and the Adirondack park agency  


Latest version.
  • Notwithstanding provisions of any other general or  special  law,  the
      functions, powers and duties encompassed by this section shall be vested
      in  the Adirondack park agency as to any privately owned part of a river
      area within the Adirondack park as defined by law which may become  part
      of   the   system;   however,  the  commissioner  shall  have  exclusive
      jurisdiction over all other river areas in the state and of all parts of
      river areas owned by the state located within the Adirondack park  which
      may  become  part  of the system. This section shall not be construed to
      divest the commissioner from  the  exercise  of  functions,  powers  and
      duties  which  have  not  been  delegated  by  law to the agency. If the
      commissioner or the agency shall conduct  any  studies,  proceedings  or
      activities  under  this  section or otherwise which affect or may affect
      river areas, any part of which are  within  the  Adirondack  park,  they
      shall consult and cooperate to carry out the purposes of this title.
