S 3060 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the construction of pipe lines

This bill requires pipeline companies to obtain explicit local government approval before constructing new pipelines through incorporated villages, towns, or cities. Specifically, it mandates that a two-thirds vote of the local governing body (village board, town board, or city council) must approve the route, construction method, and terms of the project. Pipeline companies must also provide a bond to cover pavement relaying costs if streets are excavated, and cities can sue for unpaid relaying expenses if pavement is improperly restored. The law directly affects pipeline developers and local governments, creating a formal approval process for new pipeline infrastructure.
