Summary of Bill A 6337 (Between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes Wine Trail)

What the bill would do

  • The bill designates certain portions of the New York state highway system as the "Between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes Wine Trail." The primary purpose appears to be to recognize and promote a regional wine tourism route by naming portions of the state highway network after the trail.

Status and legislative history

  • Introduced: March 4, 2025.
  • Initial referral: Transportation (March 4, 2025).
  • Subsequent actions: Reference changed to Ways and Means (June 11, 2025).
  • June 16, 2025 actions: Referred to Rules and reported; rules calendar CAL.797; ordered to third reading Rules CAL.797; additionally, the bill was substituted by S1897.
  • Current status: A 6337 has been substituted by S1897. The active text and provisions are now carried by S1897, which is listed as the companion bill.
  • Related bills: S 1897 (companion, likely the active version), S 7757 (prior-session), A 9261 (prior-session).

Provisions and scope (as available)

  • Specific roadway segments designated and any related implementing details are not provided in the summary for A 6337. The core provision is the designation itself — naming portions of the state highway system as the “Between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes Wine Trail.”
  • No funding amounts, signage requirements, or implementation timelines are stated in the information provided for A 6337. Because the bill has been substituted by S1897, the exact provisions would be found in the text of S1897.

Who/what would be affected

  • State: New York Department of Transportation (DOT) would typically be involved in any designation, signage, and marking of the designated highway segments (though specific obligations are not detailed in the summary).
  • Local communities and tourism sector: Businesses, wineries, and tourism-related entities along the designated route could be affected by branding, promotional opportunities, and potential signage associated with the wine trail designation.
  • General public: Roadway users recognizing the designated route as a tourism corridor between Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • The bill originated in the Assembly and moved through standard committee referrals (Transportation, then Ways and Means) before advancing to Rules.
  • On June 16, 2025, it was substituted by S1897, meaning the active policy content is carried by the companion bill rather than A 6337.
  • To review the exact provisions, refer to S1897 (the companion/active version) and any related floor amendments or sponsor notes.

Why this matters

  • Purpose: Officially designate a wine-tourism corridor within the state highway system to promote the Finger Lakes wine region.
  • Impact potential: Could enhance regional branding, tourism promotion, and coherence of travel routes; potential implications for signage, marketing, and state-local collaboration.

Next steps for readers

  • Check the text of S1897 for the current, active provisions and any fiscal notes.
  • Monitor votes and committee actions on S1897 to understand the bill’s progress and any changes.
  • Review any accompanying sponsor memos or fiscal analyses for cost and implementation details.
