Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to requiring hydrofluorocarbon substance standards conform with the United States environmental protection agency rules and regulations

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York State environmental conservation law to require that any state rules or regulations concerning hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) substances must align with and cannot be more stringent than the rules and regulations established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The bill specifically defines hydrofluorocarbon substances as chemicals used in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, aerosol propellants, and foam end-uses. By ensuring state regulations mirror federal EPA guidelines, the bill aims to create consistency in environmental standards for these substances and potentially reduce regulatory complexity for businesses and industries that work with HFCs. The new provision will be added as subdivision 6 to section 19-0301 of the environmental conservation law, and the bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
