What a yes vote does

Authorize the state legislature to conduct a land exchange with NYCO Minerals Inc. in the Adirondack Forest Preserve. The firm shall give the forest preserve the equivalent value amount of land as the two hundred acres acquired in the exchange, with the land estimated to be worth, at minimum, $1 million, thereby mandating an exchange of 1,500 acres for the 200 acres received. Furthermore, require NYCO to reclaim and return the 200 acres to the state after mining production ceases.
