S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4211 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E March 11, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. GRIFFO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the public service law, the public buildings law, the real property tax law and the public authorities law, in relation to expansion of natural gas service THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the extension of natural gas distribution lines within the state has multiple benefits to New Yorkers, including a reduction in emissions with the resultant health benefits, increased economic activ- ity with the creation of jobs through improved energy infrastructure, energy cost savings to consumers, and improved energy efficiency. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It has a positive impact on the environment by cutting emissions of particulate matter. These emissions have been linked to heart and lung conditions and contribute to asthma rates, particularly in urban areas. Natural gas prices are at a low point and will result in increased disposable income for consumers and improved operational efficiency for business. Extending the state's natural gas distribution line infras- tructure will create a positive business environment for manufacturers and other businesses that are looking to stabilize their energy costs. Natural gas distribution line extensions will spur economic development in the business sector and create jobs. This legislation will have the effect of protecting the state's natural resources, including protecting its atmosphere, while at the same time stimulating the development of new jobs and the economy. S 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 27 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
