 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to the contents of
 emergency response plans required to be submitted to the public
 service commission by electric corporations

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 21 of section 66 of the public
 2 service law, as separately amended by chapters 395 and 743 of the laws
 3 of 2022, subparagraph (iii) as separately amended by chapter 38 of the
 4 laws of 2023, subparagraph (xi) as separately amended by chapter 743 of
 5 the laws of 2022 and chapter 38 of the laws of 2024, subparagraphs
 6 (xii), (xiii) and (xiv) as amended by chapter 38 of the laws of 2024, is
 7 amended to read as follows:
 8 (a) Each electric corporation subject to section twenty-five-a of this
 9 chapter shall annually, on or before December fifteenth, submit to the
 10 commission an emergency response plan for review and approval. The emer-
 11 gency response plan shall be designed for the reasonably prompt restora-
 12 tion of service in the case of an emergency event, defined for purposes
 13 of this subdivision as an event where widespread outages have occurred
 14 in the service territory of the company due to storms, cyber attack, or
 15 other causes beyond the control of the company. To support reasonably
 16 prompt restoration of service in the case of an emergency event, emer-
 17 gency response plans should include details of staffing, equipment and a
 18 performance schedule with the goal of achieving restoration of service
 19 based upon a time-based restoration schedule established by the commis-
 20 sion. In establishing such time-based restoration schedule, the commis-
 21 sion should utilize benchmarks for the restoration of service which
 22 include, but are not limited to, the percentage of customers restored
 23 within each twenty-four-hour interval following the emergency event
