AI Summary
This bill declares a climate emergency and places a ban on new fossil fuel infrastructure projects in the state of New York, with exceptions for the repair or maintenance of existing infrastructure. The bill aims to transition the state's economy to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, draw down excess atmospheric carbon, and restore ecosystems, all while focusing on equity and justice for marginalized communities disproportionately affected by climate change. The ban on new fossil fuel infrastructure will remain in effect until lifted by an act of the legislature.
