Bill > S01110

This bill authorizes the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Department of Transportation to establish a New York State Hydrogen Vehicle Task Force, which will be a diverse 12-member committee appointed by various state leaders, including the governor, legislative leaders, state agency heads, and the Manufacturing Alliance of New York. The task force will examine and evaluate the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the state, identifying potential effects and making recommendations for expanding their use. Specifically, the task force will collaborate with state and city agencies to research the potential benefits and challenges of increasing hydrogen fuel cell vehicle adoption. By January of the year following the bill's enactment, NYSERDA is required to submit a comprehensive report to the governor and legislature detailing their findings, conclusions, recommendations, and any proposed legislative or regulatory changes necessary to implement their suggestions. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are zero-emission vehicles that convert hydrogen into electricity to power the vehicle, offering a potential alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered transportation. The bill aims to explore the feasibility and potential impact of these vehicles in New York State.
