Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring gas corporations to file maps with the public service commission detailing the location of current and planned gas distribution line replacement, repair, renewal and retirement projects

AI Summary

This bill requires gas corporations to annually submit detailed maps to the Public Service Commission (PSC) that show the locations of their current and planned gas distribution lines, including any projects for replacement, repair, renewal, or retirement. These maps must identify disadvantaged communities, the easiest parts of the system to decommission without impacting service, and the corporation's schedule for these projects. The PSC will then publish these maps and related documents online, making them public records, and will also designate "neighborhood priority decarbonization zones" based on factors like pollution, health impacts, and planned development, with the goal of identifying areas where gas infrastructure replacement can be avoided in favor of cleaner energy alternatives.
