Bill > A05252

This bill eliminates the requirement for solar and wind energy systems to provide additional detailed information in their annual electric generating facility reports to the commissioner. Currently, corporations, companies, associations, partnerships, and individuals who own, operate, or manage electric generating facilities must submit an annual report by April 30th detailing their inventory, revenue, and expenses. The bill removes the previous mandate that specifically required solar and wind energy systems to provide extra information to help develop and maintain an appraisal model and discount rate. By repealing section 575-b of the real property tax law, the bill simplifies the reporting requirements for solar and wind energy system owners, reducing their administrative burden. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment, meaning solar and wind energy systems would no longer need to submit the previously required supplemental information in their annual reports.
