Requires the state university of New York to install solar canopies on its campuses
This bill requires the State University of New York (SUNY) to install solar canopies on eligible parking facilities across its campuses. SUNY must calculate suitable parking space within one year and achieve a target of covering at least 75% of that space with solar canopies by 2040. New construction projects involving parking facilities (like garages or lots) must include solar canopies unless an institution has already met the 75% goal. The requirement applies to all SUNY campuses and any new parking infrastructure built using state funds or private entities with state capital funding.
