  read once and referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation

AN  ACT  to  amend  the  environmental  conservation  law and the public
  service law, in relation to enacting  the  healthy,  safe  and  energy
  efficient outdoor lighting act

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  The environmental conservation law is amended by adding  a
new article 20 to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 20
         HEALTHY, SAFE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT OUTDOOR LIGHTING ACT
SECTION 20-0101. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND POLICY.
        20-0103. SHORT TITLE.
        20-0105. DEFINITIONS.
        20-0107. PERMANENT OUTDOOR LUMINAIRE.
        20-0109. DARK-SKY PRESERVES.
        20-0111. MODEL COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR LIGHTING ORDINANCE.
        20-0113. INFORMATIONAL PAMPHLET.
        20-0115. APPLICABILITY.
S 20-0101. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND POLICY.
  THE  LEGISLATURE  FINDS THAT CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING IS
NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY,  ENERGY  SECURITY,  ENVIRONMENT
AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
  UNTIL  THE  END  OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, WANING DAYLIGHT BROUGHT AN
END TO MANY OF MANKIND'S ACTIVITIES.  THIS  BEGAN  TO  CHANGE  WITH  THE
INTRODUCTION  OF  INCANDESCENT  LAMPS,  WHICH DRAMATICALLY INCREASED THE
RANGE OF PURSUITS POSSIBLE AFTER DARK. CIVIC, SOCIAL,  CULTURAL,  EDUCA-
TIONAL, AND COMMERCIAL ENDEAVORS NOW GO FORWARD WITH AN EASE AND FREEDOM

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.

A. 586                              2

UNIMAGINABLE  IN  EARLIER  TIMES.  AS  THE  SCIENCE OF LIGHTING EVOLVED,
HOWEVER, TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENTS GRADUALLY OUTSTRIPPED THE BASIC REQUIRE-
MENT OF PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION FOR THE TASK AT HAND.  AT  LEAST
IN  THE  CASE OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING, THERE IS NOW GROWING RECOGNITION THAT
THE CONSEQUENCES ARE NOT ALTOGETHER BENIGN.
  INCREASING SCIENTIFIC  AND  EXPERIENTIAL  EVIDENCE  DEMONSTRATES  THAT
MISDIRECTED, UNSHIELDED, EXCESSIVE OR UNNECESSARY OUTDOOR NIGHT LIGHTING
HAS  MAJOR  DETRIMENTAL  EFFECTS.  ENERGY IS WASTED WHEN ILLUMINATION IS
USED EXCESSIVELY AND INEFFICIENTLY, CAUSING UNNECESSARY HEALTH-THREATEN-
ING EMISSIONS FROM BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS. SUCH EMISSIONS ALSO  POLLUTE
THE STATE'S WATERS AND CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL WARMING.
  BECAUSE  THE HUMAN EYE AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS TO THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT IN
VIEW, THE GLARE FROM UNSHIELDED OR EXCESSIVELY BRIGHT  OUTDOOR  LIGHTING
CAN  ACTUALLY  INTERFERE  WITH  THE CLEAR PERCEPTION OF OTHER OBJECTS IN
ONE'S FIELD OF VISION.
  INAPPROPRIATE USE OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING CAN HAVE A  NEGATIVE  IMPACT  ON
THE  NATURAL  ENVIRONMENT, INTERFERING WITH NORMAL PATTERNS OF ACTIVITY,
BEHAVIOR AND PHYSIOLOGY OF FLORA AND FAUNA.  RECENT RESEARCH  HAS  INDI-
CATED  THAT  EXPOSURE TO LIGHT AT NIGHT CAN UPSET NORMAL HUMAN CIRCADIAN
RHYTHMS, THEREBY DISRUPTING HORMONE SECRETIONS AND WEAKENING THE  BODY'S
IMMUNE SYSTEM.
  IN ADDITION, SKY GLOW FROM UNSHIELDED AND UNNECESSARY OUTDOOR LIGHTING
THWARTS THE AGES-OLD HUMAN YEARNING TO GAZE AT, LEARN FROM AND ENJOY THE
WONDERS OF THE NIGHT SKY.
  THE  LEGISLATURE FURTHER FINDS THAT COST-EFFICIENT MEANS AND PRACTICES
EXIST THROUGH APPROPRIATE USE OF LUMINAIRES TO  PROVIDE  ADEQUATE  NIGHT
LIGHTING WHEN NEEDED THAT IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE BUT CAUSES MINIMAL LIGHT
TRESPASS,  GLARE,  AND  SKY GLOW. THESE MEANS AND PRACTICES ARE POSSIBLE
WITH INCREASED PUBLIC AWARENESS THROUGH  EDUCATION  AND  PRUDENT  PUBLIC
ACTION AS PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE.
  THEREFORE,  IT  IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE TO BEGIN LIMITING LIGHT
POLLUTION IN THE STATE IN A COST-EFFECTIVE AND SOCIALLY FEASIBLE  MANNER
IN ORDER TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
S 20-0103. SHORT TITLE.
  THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY BE CITED AS THE "HEALTHY, SAFE AND
ENERGY EFFICIENT OUTDOOR LIGHTING ACT".
S 20-0105. DEFINITIONS.
  AS USED IN THIS ARTICLE:
  1.  "LUMINAIRE"  MEANS  A  COMPLETE LIGHTING UNIT, INCLUDING A LAMP OR
LAMPS TOGETHER WITH THE PARTS DESIGNED TO DISTRIBUTE THE LIGHT, TO POSI-
TION AND PROTECT THE LAMPS, AND  TO  CONNECT  THE  LAMPS  TO  THE  POWER
SUPPLY; A LIGHT FIXTURE.
  2.  "GLARE"  MEANS  LIGHT  EMITTED  BY A LUMINAIRE THAT CAUSES REDUCED
VISIBILITY OR MOMENTARY BLINDNESS BY SHINING DIRECTLY INTO THE  EYES  OF
THE VIEWER.
  3.  "LAMP"  MEANS  THE COMPONENT OF A LUMINAIRE THAT PRODUCES LIGHT; A
LIGHT BULB.
  4. "LIGHT POLLUTION" MEANS ANY  ADVERSE  EFFECT  OF  OUTDOOR  LIGHTING
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, GLARE AND SKY GLOW.
  5.  "LUMEN"  MEANS THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT USED TO QUANTIFY THE AMOUNT
OF LIGHT PRODUCED BY A LAMP OR EMITTED FROM  A  LUMINAIRE,  AS  DISTINCT
FROM "WATT", A MEASURE OF POWER CONSUMPTION.
  6.  "FULLY  SHIELDED  LUMINAIRE"  MEANS  A  LUMINAIRE  CONSTRUCTED AND
INSTALLED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT ALL LIGHT EMITTED BY IT, EITHER DIRECTLY
FROM THE LAMP OR A DIFFUSING ELEMENT, OR  INDIRECTLY  BY  REFLECTION  OR

A. 586                              3

REFRACTION FROM ANY PART OF THE LUMINAIRE, IS PROJECTED BELOW A HORIZON-
TAL PLANE THROUGH THE LUMINAIRE'S LOWEST LIGHT EMITTING PART.
  7.  "PERMANENT  OUTDOOR  LUMINAIRE"  MEANS  ANY LUMINAIRE OR SYSTEM OF
LUMINAIRES THAT IS OUTDOORS AND THAT IS USED FOR MORE THAN TEN DAYS IN A
THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE DAY PERIOD.
  8. "ROADWAY LIGHTING" MEANS  PERMANENT  OUTDOOR  LUMINAIRES  THAT  ARE
SPECIFICALLY INTENDED TO ILLUMINATE ROADWAYS FOR AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES.
  9.  "CONTINUOUS  ROADWAY  LIGHTING  DESIGN" MEANS A LIGHTING PLAN THAT
ESTIMATES LIGHT ON A ROADWAY FROM CALCULATIONS UTILIZING FACTORS INCLUD-
ING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A PARTICULAR  LUMINAIRE,  MOUNTING  HEIGHT,  OR
POLE SPACING, IN ORDER TO MEET A SPECIFIED GOAL SUCH AS MINIMUM LIGHTING
LEVEL,  UNIFORMITY,  OR SMALL-TARGET VISIBILITY. LIGHTING PLACED ONLY AT
INTERSECTIONS OR OTHER POTENTIALLY  HAZARDOUS  LOCATIONS  SHALL  NOT  BE
CONSIDERED CONTINUOUS.
  10.  "SKY  GLOW"  MEANS  THE  ILLUMINATION  OF  THE NIGHTTIME SKY THAT
RESULTS FROM UPWARD SHINING LIGHT, WHICH IS REFLECTED OFF MOLECULES  AND
PARTICLES OF DIRT AND MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
S 20-0107. PERMANENT OUTDOOR LUMINAIRE.
  1.  NO STATE AGENCY OR PUBLIC CORPORATION OPERATING IN THE STATE SHALL
INSTALL OR CAUSE TO  BE  INSTALLED  ANY  NEW  OR  REPLACEMENT  PERMANENT
OUTDOOR LUMINAIRE UNLESS THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET:
  (A)  ANY  LUMINAIRE  WITH  A LAMP OR LAMPS HAVING TOTAL INITIAL OUTPUT
GREATER THAN 1800 LUMENS SHALL BE FULLY SHIELDED, EXCEPT THAT A  HISTOR-
IC-STYLE  DECORATIVE  LUMINAIRE  MAY EMIT UP TO TWO PERCENT OF ITS TOTAL
LUMENS ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL PLANE;
  (B) IF A LIGHTING RECOMMENDATION PUBLISHED BY THE  ILLUMINATING  ENGI-
NEERING SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA APPLIES, FULL CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO
THE MINIMUM MAINTAINED LIGHT LEVEL ADEQUATE TO MEET THE RECOMMENDATION;

MUM MAINTAINED LIGHT LEVEL ADEQUATE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE IS USED;
  (D)  FOR  ROADWAY LIGHTING UNASSOCIATED WITH INTERSECTIONS, A DETERMI-
NATION IS MADE THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE LIGHTING INSTALLATION OR REPLACE-
MENT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY INSTALLATION OF REFLECTORIZED  ROADWAY  MARK-
ERS, LINES, WARNINGS OR INFORMATIONAL SIGNS, OR OTHER PASSIVE MEANS;
  (E)  ADEQUATE  CONSIDERATION  HAS  BEEN GIVEN TO CONSERVING ENERGY AND
MINIMIZING GLARE AND SKY GLOW; AND

CONTINUOUS ROADWAY LIGHTING DESIGN;
  (B)  THE  LUMINAIRE  IS A HISTORIC-STYLE DECORATIVE LUMINAIRE WHICH IS
PART OF A CONTINUOUS ROADWAY LIGHTING DESIGN WHERE  THE  REPLACEMENT  OF
THE  LUMINAIRE  PIECEMEAL  WITH  COMPLIANT LUMINAIRES WOULD UNACCEPTABLY
DEGRADE THE AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EXISTING LIGHTING DESIGN;
  (C) SITUATIONS WHERE THERE ARE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS,  SUCH  AS  SPORTS
FACILITIES,  TUNNELS,  TRAFFIC  CONTROL  DEVICES,  NAVIGATION  LIGHTING,

A. 586                              4

AIRPORTS, UNDERBRIDGE LIGHTING, NATURAL AND CULTURAL MONUMENTS, OR  FLAG
LIGHTING;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT ALL SUCH LIGHTING SHALL BE SELECTED
AND INSTALLED TO SHIELD THE LAMP OR LAMPS FROM DIRECT VIEW AND TO  MINI-
MIZE UPWARD LIGHTING AND GLARE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE; AND
  (D)  SITUATIONS  WHERE  A WRITTEN DETERMINATION WITH FINDINGS HAS BEEN
MADE THAT A SPECIFIED EXEMPTION TO ANY REQUIREMENT OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF
THIS SECTION IS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE FOR A COMPELLING SAFETY INTER-
EST THAT CANNOT BE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY ANY OTHER METHOD. WHERE  THIS
EXEMPTION IS FOR A STATE AGENCY OR STATE PUBLIC CORPORATION, THE WRITTEN
DETERMINATION SHALL BE MADE BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE AGENCY
