 IN SENATE

 May 11, 2026
 ___________

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

 AN ACT to amend the general municipal law and the public authorities
 law, in relation to prohibiting the use of funds, financial incentives
 or subsidies where facilities or property are used primarily for
 e-commerce storage and transfers, or the facilitation thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Section 862 of the general municipal law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 3 to read as follows:
 3 (3) No funds, financial incentives or subsidies of the agency shall be
 4 used in respect of any project where facilities or property are used
 5 primarily for electronic commerce (e-commerce) storage and transfers, or
 6 the facilitation thereof.
 7 § 2. The second undesignated paragraph of section 1953 of the public
 8 authorities law, as amended by chapter 579 of the laws of 2021, is
 9 amended to read as follows:
 10 Notwithstanding the provisions of this section to the contrary, such
 11 financial assistance may, however, be provided to a project where facil-
 12 ities or property that are primarily used in making retail sales of
 13 goods or services to customers who personally visit such facilities to
 14 obtain such goods or services constitute more than one-third of the
 15 total project cost, where: (i) the predominant purpose of the project
 16 would be to make available goods or services which would not, but for
 17 the project, be reasonably accessible to the residents of the city of
 18 Troy because of a lack of reasonably accessible retail trade facilities
 19 offering such goods or services; or (ii) the project is located in a
 20 highly distressed area. With respect to projects authorized pursuant to
 21 this paragraph no project shall be approved unless the authority shall
 22 find after the public hearing required by section twenty-three hundred
 23 seven of this chapter that undertaking the project will serve the public
 24 purposes of this article by preserving permanent, private sector jobs or
 25 increasing the overall number of permanent, private sector jobs in the
 26 state. Where the authority makes such a finding, prior to providing
