A 8805: Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Robert Bornt

This bill dedicates a specific bridge (bridge number 1000250 on State Route 2 crossing State Route 22 in Petersburg, Rensselaer County) to Fire Chief Robert Bornt through commemorative signage. The dedication is ceremonial only, meaning the bridge's official name remains unchanged. The bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation to install and maintain a sign stating "Bridge Dedicated to Fire Chief Robert Bornt" without altering the bridge's official designation.

S 98: Requires electric corporations build make-ready infrastructure

S 98 requires electric corporations to cover the costs of "make-ready" infrastructure needed to charge electric vehicles for public fleets, such as government-owned buses, police cars, and school district vehicles. It mandates that corporations include 100% of their own infrastructure costs (like transformers and wiring) and at least 50% of customer infrastructure costs (like site wiring) in their rates - increasing to 90% in disadvantaged communities - so these expenses are shared across all utility customers instead of paid directly by fleet operators. This reduces upfront financial barriers for public entities transitioning to electric fleets while ensuring infrastructure costs are recovered through standard rate structures. The bill applies specifically to state, municipal, school district, and public authority fleets, not private businesses.

S 955: Relates to the use of smart access systems and the information that may be gathered from such systems

Senate Bill S 955 regulates smart access systems in Class A multiple dwellings, affecting tenants, lawful occupants, and building owners. The bill mandates that these systems cannot rely solely on web-based applications for entry, requiring alternative options like key fobs or digital keys, and provides a non-electronic entry option for religious preferences. Owners must provide tenants and lawful occupants with free keys or access cards, including initial replacements, and ensure systems have backup power for outages. Additionally, it limits the types of personal data that can be collected by these systems and prohibits the installation of new biometric smart access systems for three years after the law takes effect.

A 10938: Provides a one-year utility bill tax and surcharge holiday and two-year green energy tax holiday

This bill offers temporary relief on utility costs for one year and exempts fees related to green energy projects for two years. During the first year, customers will not pay sales tax, gross receipts tax, or specific surcharges on their utility bills, and utility companies must lower their rates to match the savings. The second part of the bill prevents utility companies from charging ratepayers for building renewable energy systems, electric vehicle infrastructure, or charging stations for two years. To cover the lost tax revenue, the state will transfer money from its general fund to the relevant accounts after the one-year holiday ends. These changes directly affect all utility customers and those involved in renewable energy or electric vehicle projects.
