Bill > A08327

This bill establishes the electric landscaping equipment rebate program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and reduce noise pollution by promoting the adoption of quieter, zero-emission landscaping equipment. It provides for rebates at the point of sale for applicants, including both commercial landscaping businesses and individual consumers, purchasing or leasing certain eligible equipment such as lawn mowers, trimmers, and blowers. The rebates cover up to 70% of the purchase price, with maximum amounts varying by equipment type. The program is administered by the New York State Public Authorities Law, which is required to set rules and regulations, conduct outreach, and report on the program's status annually. The bill is set to expire and be repealed on January 1, 2030.
