A 6252 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals the prohibition on fossil fuel equipment and building systems in new buildings; repealer

This bill repeals a future ban on fossil fuel equipment (like gas furnaces or water heaters) in new buildings, which was scheduled to take effect in 2026. It directly affects builders, developers, and property owners constructing new buildings by removing this restriction. The key mechanism is deleting specific sections of the Energy Law and Executive Law that created the prohibition. The repeal makes the 2026 ban ineffective, allowing new buildings to use fossil fuel systems without restriction. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
