PARKER, PERKINS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Tele- communications AN ACT to amend the energy law, the public authorities law and the public service law, in relation to refuge facilities THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The legislature hereby finds that there is a need to protect the public from potential disruptions to the energy transmission and distribution system, whether caused by natural or man-made occur- rences. Such needs can be met through the creation of refuge facilities in every locality in the state that can assure the public of continuous provision of electric, heat and other necessary utility services in times of disruption of the delivery of such services. Such refuge facil- ities shall be either existing or new buildings which have energy and heat producing equipment and which provide electricity and heat through such on-site technologies and that such equipment is capable of opera- tion independent of the receipt of power or other services from the local electric utility transmission and distribution system. The legislature also finds that, in order to promote the development of appropriate facilities and energy production equipment, it is appro- priate for state agencies to provide financial assistance in the form of low-interest or zero-interest loans, grants, performance contracts and other appropriate financing mechanisms. In addition, the legislature also finds that current technologies exist which could provide the dual purpose of reducing energy costs for such facilities, and thus also provide benefits to local taxpayers for lower public facilities costs. In addition, to ensure that such facilities do not create additional cost burdens for local taxpayers, and in consideration of the public safety and security to be provided to the localities, such facilities shall be exempt from any statutory or regulatory requirements for utili- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
