Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the energy law, in relation to prohibiting the elimination of building systems or equipment used for the combustion of fossil fuels in new building construction
AI Summary
This bill amends New York's energy law to prevent the prohibition of building systems or equipment that use fossil fuels in new building construction. Specifically, the bill ensures that building codes cannot ban the installation of systems that burn natural gas, propane, or fuel oil in newly constructed buildings. The legislation also extends this protection to existing buildings, meaning that renovations and system replacements cannot be restricted based on the use of fossil fuel combustion equipment. By adding this provision to Section 11-104 of the energy law, the bill aims to maintain the option of using traditional fossil fuel-based heating and cooking systems in both new and existing structures across New York State, effectively blocking potential efforts to mandate exclusively electric or renewable energy systems in building construction.
