Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to eliminating the metropolitan commuter transportation authority's environmental quality review exemption
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority's (MCTA) exemption from the environmental quality review standards established by Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously exempted the MCTA from having to conduct environmental reviews for its projects or activities, including the planning, design, and construction of transportation facilities (other than marine or aviation facilities). This means the MCTA will now be subject to the same environmental review requirements as other public and private entities under Article 8.
