 AN ACT in relation to the electrification of the Manhattan Cruise Termi-
   nal; and providing for the repeal of such provisions  upon  expiration
   thereof
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. The New York state energy research and development authori-
 ty in consultation with the department of public service, the department
 of environmental conservation, Con Edison, the Hudson River Park  Trust,
 other relevant state agencies and authorities with subject matter exper-
 tise, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, is author-
 ized and directed to:
   (a)  develop a study of competitive options to facilitate the electri-
 fication of the Manhattan Cruise Terminal to provide shore power to  all
 vessels docking in the terminal, by the year 2030, while ensuring energy
 resource  adequacy  and  other reliability services are maintained.  The
 study should prioritize the  electrification  of  the  Manhattan  Cruise
 Terminal  to  provide  shore  power  to directly assist in achieving the
 energy, environmental justice and emissions reductions  requirements  of
 section 66-p of the public service law. The study shall address multiple
 types  of shore power plug-ins for vessels and energy pricing rates. The
 study shall include recommendations of standards and requirements that:
   (i) significantly reduce the reliance on  fossil  fuels,  taking  into
 account  the  requirements  and timing of the state's emission reduction
 programs;
   (ii) provide significant environmental, health and other  benefits  to
 disadvantaged communities within one mile of the Manhattan Cruise Termi-
 nal,  as such communities are defined under section 75-0101 of the envi-
 ronmental conservation law; and
   (b) provide public notice of the study, and ensure the results of  the
 study  are  made  easily accessible to members of disadvantaged communi-
 ties, as defined in section 75-0101 of  the  environmental  conservation
 law,  and  provide an opportunity for public comment on the study of not

 less than sixty days and conduct at least two  public  hearings  on  the
 study, of which at least one shall be held in disadvantaged communities,
 as defined in section 75-0101 of the environmental conservation law with
 such public hearings offering video participation and accessibility;
   (c)  address  public  comments  and  update the study, as appropriate,
 especially to ensure resource  adequacy  and  reliability  services  are
 maintained; and
   (d)  deliver  the  study  to  the governor, temporary president of the
 senate and speaker of the assembly within 180 days of the effective date
 of this section.
   § 2. The New York state energy research and development authority,  in
 consultation  with  the  department of public service, the department of
 environmental conservation, Con Edison, the  Hudson  River  Park  Trust,
 other relevant state agencies and authorities with subject matter exper-
 tise,  and  the  New  York  City Economic Development Corporation, shall
 commence proceedings and stakeholder processes to establish programs and
 other initiatives necessary to carry out the strategies, programs, stan-
 dards, energy pricing rates, and requirements  described  in  the  study
 referred to in section one of this act within 60 days of delivery of the
 study  to the governor, temporary president of the senate and speaker of
 the assembly.
   § 3. The New York state  energy  research  and  development  authority
 shall:
   (a) commence a proceeding to implement the strategies, programs, stan-
 dards,  energy  pricing  rates,  and requirements described in the study
 referred to in section one of this act within 90 days of delivery of the
 study to the governor, temporary president of the senate and speaker  of
 the assembly; and
   (b)  issue  an  order  regarding  implementation  of  the  strategies,
 programs, standards, energy pricing rates, and requirements described in
 the study referred to in section one of this act no later than  30  days
 after  the  commencement  of  proceedings. Such order shall at a minimum
 direct the New York City Economic Development Corporation  in  consulta-
 tion  with  the  New  York  Power Authority to issue a competitive award
 process to facilitate the electrification of the Manhattan Cruise Termi-
 nal maintaining reliability consistent with the recommendations  of  the
 study pursuant to section one of this act.
   §  4.  Upon  installation of shore power capabilities at the Manhattan
 Cruise Terminal, the  department  of  environmental  conservation  shall
 issue:
   (a)  shore  power  requirements  for  at  berth emission reductions to
 ensure full use of shore power at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal; and
   (b) any regulations shall  exclude  government  or  military  vessels.
