Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring the office of renewable energy siting and electric transmission to promptly publish applications for permits to site a major renewable energy facility or to site a major electric transmission facility

AI Summary

This bill requires the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) to promptly publish and regularly update on its website any application for a permit to site a major renewable energy facility or a major electric transmission facility, along with supporting documents and any responses. Before posting, ORES must review any claims that information is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law, and redactions should be minimal, only to protect sensitive environmental information or prevent substantial injury to an applicant's competitive position. This aims to increase transparency in the permitting process for large-scale renewable energy and transmission projects.
