Relates to the green jobs-green New York program
S 8237 modifies the Green Jobs-Green New York program's on-bill financing for energy efficiency upgrades. It sets maximum loan amounts at $13,000 for residential properties and $26,000 for non-residential properties, with higher limits up to $50,000 if the payback period is 15 years or less. The bill requires the state to record a property declaration for these loans, ensuring the on-bill charge transfers with the property upon sale and mandates sellers to notify buyers about outstanding balances. The original property owner remains responsible for payments if the buyer does not formally assume the debt in writing.
