MINOR
The bill was amended to shift responsibility from the Public Service Commission to the Department of Public Service. It also updated references to the energy grid operator from the 'New York Independent System Operator' to the 'federally designated bulk system operator' and changed legal definitions to cite the Public Service Law instead of the Energy Law.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded by broadening the definition of the grid operator from a specific entity to a federally designated role, ensuring the study remains relevant if the operator changes.

Changed the lead agency for the study from the Public Service Commission to the Department of Public Service.
DEFINITION
Updated references to the grid operator from the New York Independent System Operator to the federally designated bulk system operator.
Changed legal citations for renewable energy definitions from the Energy Law to the Public Service Law.
