The New York Environmental Conservation Projects Bond did not make the November 3, 2015 ballot in New York as a legislatively referred bond question. The measure, upon voter approval, would authorize the issuance of $5 billion in bonds for environmental conservation projects, including projects related to drinking water, air quality, open space, farmland protection, habitat restoration, restoring contaminated areas, climate change adaptation, pollution prevention in urban communities, water quality research, parks, community gardens, greenways, and for repairing, replacing and maintaining municipal wastewater and drinking water infrastructure.[1]

According to Section 11, Article VII of the New York Constitution, a majority vote is required in the legislature to qualify the bond question for the statewide ballot. Measures are required to be passed by the Legislature at least three months before the general election. The Legislature was required to approve the bond question by August 3, 2015, to get the measure placed on the November 3, 2015, ballot.

Only one bond question may appear on the ballot per general election. The Transportation Infrastructure Bond and the Urban Restoration Bond were also proposed as bond questions.

The question did not make the 2015 ballot. It was referred to committee and never taken up.[1]
