Bill > S01167

This bill repeals specific provisions in New York state law that were set to prohibit fossil fuel equipment and building systems in new buildings starting in 2026. Specifically, the bill eliminates paragraph (b) of subdivision 6 and subdivisions 7 and 8 from section 11-104 of the Energy Law, as well as subdivision 19 of section 378 of the Executive Law. These repealed sections likely contained regulations that would have restricted the use of fossil fuel-based heating, cooling, and other building systems in newly constructed buildings. By removing these provisions, the bill effectively cancels the planned prohibition, which would have pushed new construction towards electric or renewable energy systems. The bill includes an immediate effective date, meaning the repeal would take effect as soon as the bill is signed into law, thus preventing the 2026 fossil fuel equipment ban from being implemented.
