S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1751 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 10, 2017 ___________ Introduced by Sen. ORTT -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to a rate classi- fication for volunteer emergency response organizations THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. Volunteer emergency response organizations provide a public benefit to the state of New York and lessen the burdens of government. Further, members of these not-for- profit organizations risk their lives to ensure the safety, health and general welfare of our citizens. In the past, the state of New York recognized the value of similar organizations and the sacrifices of their members when it established a reduced utility rate for veterans' organizations. Therefore, the legislature hereby finds and declares that volunteer emergency response organizations and veterans' organizations are similarly situated in their structures, practices and actions, and further finds and declares that a reduced utility rate is justified for volunteer emergency response organizations to help ensure their contin- ued operation. § 2. Subdivision 14 of section 66 of the public service law, as amended by chapter 696 of the laws of 1936, is amended to read as follows: 14. (A) The commission shall have power to require each gas corpo- ration and electric corporation to establish classifications of service based upon the quantity used, the time when used, the purpose for which used, the duration of use and upon any other reasonable consideration, and to establish in connection therewith just and reasonable graduated rates and charges; and it shall have power, either upon complaint or upon its own motion, to require such changes in such classifications, rates and charges as it shall determine to be just and reasonable. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
