NYS Legislature ↗ · OpenLeg API ↗

The New York State Senate passed Senate Print 1327, an amendment to the Public Service Law, by a vote of 61-1 on Calendar Number 137. The bill, sponsored by Senator Parker, received overwhelming support despite criticism from Sen. Walczyk, who argued it is redundant and fails to address energy affordability. Walczyk contended that utility companies already have payment plans in place and that the legislation does nothing to reduce energy costs for New Yorkers. He noted that utilities are currently holding $1.8 billion in arrears from customers unable or unwilling to pay their bills. Despite his objections, the measure advanced with only his dissenting vote. The bill is scheduled to take effect 30 days after becoming law.
