 April 14, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WALCZYK -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law and the public service law, in
 relation to requiring a percentage of profits to be paid to a taxing
 jurisdiction or land owner under certain agreements for the installa-
 tion and use of solar or wind energy systems

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 9 of section 487 of the real property tax law
 2 is amended by adding a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:
 3 (d) Any payment in lieu of tax agreement executed under this subdivi-
 4 sion shall include a provision that the taxing jurisdiction shall be
 5 entitled to receive twelve and one-half percent of the profits generated
 6 from the solar or wind energy system that is the subject of such agree-
 7 ment, in addition to any payments in lieu of taxes otherwise required
 8 under such agreement.
 9 § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 66-x to
 10 read as follows:
 11 § 66-x. Solar and wind land-lease agreements. Any agreement for the
 12 lease of land for installation and use of a solar or wind energy system
 13 shall include a provision that the owner of such land shall be entitled
 14 to receive twelve and one-half percent of the profits generated from
 15 such solar or wind energy system, in addition to any other payments
 16 required under such lease agreement. For the purposes of this section,
 17 the term "solar or wind energy system" shall have the same meaning as
 18 defined by section four hundred eighty-seven of the real property tax
 19 law.
 20 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to
 21 contracts and agreements entered into on or after such date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
