BILL NUMBER:A9039

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the economic development law, chapter 316 of the laws of 1997
amending the public authorities law and other laws relating to the
provision of low cost power to foster statewide economic development,
the tax law and chapter 645 of the laws of 2006 amending the economic
development law and other laws relating to reauthorizing the New York
power authority to make contributions to the general fund, in relation
to extending the expiration of the power for jobs program and the energy
cost savings benefits program; to amend the public authorities law,
in relation to authorizing an additional voluntary contribution into the
state treasury under the power for jobs program;
and to amend the public authorities law, in relation to an energy audit
program

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This legislation will extend the Power for Jobs and Energy Cost
Savings Benefit Programs through May 15, 2010 and require reports on
the performance of the programs and energy audits to develop the
basis for a long term low cost power program.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

* Extends the Power for Jobs and Energy Cost Savings Benefit Programs
for ten and a half months through May 15, 2010;

* requires that the Power Authority in coordination with the Department
of Economic Development provide reports, by December 30, 2009,
detailing the information necessary to assess the existing low cost
power programs and the resources available going forward along with a
review of the performance of all program participants to date;

* requires that a representative sample of the recipients of the
Authority's low cost power programs undergo a comprehensive energy
audit;

* requires the Power Authority to issue progress report on the energy
audits completed to date by February 28, 2010; and

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation extends the Power for Jobs and Energy Cost Savings
Benefit Programs through May 15, 2010 giving the businesses
participating in these programs the assurance that their benefits
will continue through next year. The required energy audits and
reports on program performance will provide the Legislature with the
information necessary to assess the existing programs and develop an
effective and efficient long term low cost power program for New York.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None. The costs would be paid for by a combination of revenues raised
from the sale of low-cost hydroelectric power and funds of PASNY.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This legislation would be effective immediately upon being signed into
law.
