AI Summary
This bill requires gas corporations to file a plan with the New York Public Service Commission addressing aging or leaking pipelines within their service territory. The plan must include a timeline for replacing leak-prone pipelines on an accelerated basis, with the goal of removing all such infrastructure within 20 years or a reasonable timeline based on a cost recovery cap. The Commission will review and approve the plan, which will allow the gas corporation to recover the costs of eligible pipeline replacement projects through a rate adjustment mechanism, subject to an annual cap on rate increases. The bill aims to improve public safety and reduce lost and unaccounted for gas through a reduction in leaks.
