Bill > A06327

This bill provides an exemption to existing fossil fuel ban regulations for building projects that have already received site plan or subdivision plat approval from a local planning board before December 31, 2025. Specifically, the bill ensures that new buildings which have been preliminarily approved prior to the specified date will be allowed to proceed under their original plans, even if those plans include fossil fuel infrastructure that would otherwise be prohibited by recent energy law changes (part RR of chapter 56 of the laws of 2023). This means that construction projects in progress or already approved will not be required to modify their designs to comply with the new fossil fuel restrictions, offering continuity and predictability for developers and property owners who have already invested time and resources into their building plans. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, providing immediate relief and clarity for affected construction projects.
