Bond acts are special pieces of legislation that are put to a vote on the ballot by New Yorkers. The Restore Mother Nature Bond Act would fund critical environmental restoration projects in every corner of the state to ensure that New York is able to use nature’s own tools to withstand the threats posed by climate change.
