A 6327 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes existing building projects to continue when the fossil fuel ban takes effect

Bill A 6327 authorizes an exception to existing prohibitions on fossil fuel use in new buildings. It specifies that the fossil fuel ban will not apply to new buildings if their site plan or subdivision plat was approved by a local planning board before December 31, 2025. This allows certain building projects that have already received local planning approval to continue without being subject to the new energy law provisions.

MINOR

This bill amends the energy law to clarify that existing building projects approved before December 31, 2025, can continue construction even after the fossil fuel ban takes effect. The amendment extends the exemption to include subdivision plats in addition to site plans, ensuring more projects have clear pathways to completion without violating the upcoming fossil fuel restrictions.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include subdivision plats alongside site plans as qualifying documents for the fossil fuel ban exemption, and it now explicitly references both paragraph (b) of subdivision 6 and subdivision 7 of section 11-104 of the energy law.

ELIGIBILITY

Added subdivision plats to the list of approved documents that qualify for the fossil fuel ban exemption, expanding eligibility beyond just site plans.

REQUIREMENT

Clarified that the fossil fuel ban prohibitions in multiple sections of the energy law do not apply to projects with pre-approved plans before December 31, 2025.

TECHNICAL

Added references to subdivision 7 of section 11-104 and section 378 of the executive law to the list of provisions covered by the exemption.
