Bill > S01258

This bill requires state office buildings in New York to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet statewide limits three years earlier than the general deadline established by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Specifically, the bill amends the environmental conservation law to define "state office building" as any state-owned building primarily used for state offices, departments, agencies, or public use. It mandates that the aggregate greenhouse gas emissions from these state office buildings must not exceed the statewide emissions limits set in section 75-0107 of the environmental conservation law three years before those limits become mandatory for the entire state. By imposing these early emissions reduction requirements on state buildings, the bill aims to demonstrate leadership in addressing climate change and serve as a model for broader emissions reductions across New York State.
