NEW YORK, March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Free Admission, a campaign seeking to codify the facts of New Yorkers' right to free admission to, and instruction from, the prized museums, zoos, gardens, science and performing art centers and aquarium they subsidize, today announced the introduction of New York State Assembly Bill #A03059 sponsored by Assemblyman Charles D. Fall and State Senate Bill #S5265 sponsored by State Senator Cordell Cleare.

Key Points: 
  • If they are not, the bills call for recommending corrective legislation.
  • Assembly Bill #A03059 and Senate Bill #S5265 aim to dissuade similar Garden campaigns without first clarifying the facts of New Yorkers' rights to free admission to the institutions."
  • The Free Admission campaign launched a petition in support of Bills #A03059 and #S5265.
