Section 300-1.1 - Statement of purpose

The State of New York, through the Office of General Services, operates and manages various State offices and parking facilities located throughout the State. In addition to being a workplace for portions of the State workforce, certain Office of General Services' operated State properties are made available to the public for other designated purposes. To fulfill its statutory obligations, the Office of General Services must endeavor to achieve a balance in providing equal access to the public and a suitable working environment for the State workforce. In determining whether permission for access and use of State facilities will be granted, the commissioner or his or her designee may consider the health, welfare and safety of persons, the security and maintenance of the State property and the normal conduct of State operations and such other considerations as provided herein. This rule is intended to be used to protect the public safety, grant equal access to State property to all citizens, to maintain an orderly environment in which to conduct State business and preserve the assets of the People of the State of New York, all in a manner which does not impinge on the constitutional rights of free speech and assembly. Therefore, to enhance and promote a suitable environment for the use and enjoyment of State property operated by the Office of General Services, the rules and regulations set forth in this Chapter are hereby established to govern the conduct of the users of State property.
