2013-S1184 - Summary

Requires all heating oil sold within the counties of Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester and the counties of the city of New York to be bioheating fuel that contains at least two percent biodiesel.

2013-S1184 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1184

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to bioheating
fuel requirements

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill will
require all heating
oil sold for use in any building within certain counties to contain
at least two percent biodiesel, on and after October 1, 2013; on July
1, 2014, all heating oil sold statewide would need to meet this
standard.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 defines terms for the
purpose of this bill. Beginning October 1st, 2013, all heating oil
sold for use in any building within the counties of Nassau, Rockland,
Suffolk, Westchester and the city of New York shall be bioheating
fuel that contains at least two Percent biodiesel. On July 1st, 2014,
all heating oil sold for use in any building in the state shall be
bioheating fuel that contains at least two percent biodiesel. The
governor may issue an executive order to temporarily suspend the
applicability of this section at any time based on the governor's
determination, after consulting with NYSERDA and DEC, that meeting
the requirement of subdivision two of this section is not feasible

due to lack of adequate supply of biodiesel or that meeting the
requirement would result in undue financial hardship to consumers.

The requirements shall not: A. prohibit the sale and use of bioheating
fuel with the same or any greater percentage of biodiesel blended
with heating oil, or the sale and use of one hundred percent
biodiesel, for space and/or water heating purposes in the state; and
B. preempt any laws of the city of New York with respect to mandated
percentage levels of bio diesel blends with heating oil provided that
such laws require the same or greater percentage of biodiesel blended
with heating oil as required by this section.

Section 2 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION: Bioheating standards will help spur an
untapped market
for New York businesses and farmers in the production of biodiesel
fuel while reducing pollution and dependence on foreign energy
sources. New York State will accrue major economic benefits from the
construction and production of biodiesel facilities and New York
State farmers will profit from harvests being used in the refining
and Processing stages of biodiesel fuel production. Moreover, a
biodiesel content requirement will encourage New York farmers to
increase production, thus strengthening an industry which has
struggled in recent years to yield sustainable profits. Increasing
the use of biodiesel will create new markets for agricultural
products, create more local jobs, and reduce emissions. This fuel
also has the benefit of higher efficiency and of literally being
"home grown" to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
