 Introduced by Sens. GONZALEZ, COMRIE, MAY, SALAZAR -- read twice and

 Energy and Telecommunications -- committee discharged, bill amended,
 ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee

 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring gas
 corporations to file maps with the public service commission detailing
 the location of current and planned gas distribution line replacement,
 repair, renewal and retirement projects

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "mapping
 2 for affordable planning (MAP) act".
 3 § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 77-a to
 4 read as follows:
 5 § 77-a. Mapping and decommissioning leak-prone gas infrastructure. 1.
 6 Legislative intent. It is the intent of the legislature to support long-
 7 term emissions reductions by facilitating the mapping and decommission-
 8 ing of leak-prone gas pipes. The repair and replacement of aging and
 9 leak-prone pipes by gas corporations will result in a burgeoning, unaf-
 10 fordable cost to ratepayers over the next several decades and does not
 11 serve the emissions reductions goals of the state. Avoiding investments
 12 in new, dangerous, unhealthy, unaffordable, and long-lived gas infras-
 13 tructure where alternative renewable sources of energy may instead be
 14 installed will result in savings to gas ratepayers, decreased costly
 15 energy demand at peak periods, increased local resilience, reduced risk
 16 to customers and the environment, reduced imports of resources from
 17 outside New York state, and reduced risk to shareholders for cost recov-
 18 ery on stranded assets. A long-term planning process is necessary to
 19 evaluate zero-emission alternatives that could help avoid new capital
 20 investment in the gas system, which may become stranded, and to reduce
 21 upward pressure on gas rates. Cost-effective, affordable, zero-emission
 22 alternatives to pipeline and other gas infrastructure replacement and
 23 renewal projects could reduce gas system costs, ease energy load at
 24 periods of high demand, improve system resiliency, and further New

 1 York's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve local and
 2 regional air quality.
 3 2. (a) Each gas corporation shall, within one year of the effective
 4 date of this section and annually thereafter, file with the department a
 5 machine-readable Geographic Information System ("map" or "maps") detail-
 6 ing the location of all current and planned or foreseeable gas distrib-

 8 map shall include, but not be limited to:
 9 (i) the city, county, and census tract boundaries of such gas corpo-
 10 ration's service area;
 11 (ii) the location of all terminal branches and radial ends of such gas
 12 corporation's systems;
 13 (iii) the utilities' current schedule for pl
