 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 September 26, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. P. CARROLL -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Economic Development

 AN ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to creating an
 electric school bus infrastructure investment pilot program; and
 making an appropriation relating thereto

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

 1 Section 1. The economic development law is amended by adding a new
 2 article 6-B to read as follows:
 3 ARTICLE 6-B
 4 ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS INFRASTRUCTURE
 5 INVESTMENT PILOT PROGRAM
 6 Section 189-aa. Electric school bus infrastructure investment pilot
 7 program.
 8 189-bb. Rules and regulations.
 9 § 189-aa. Electric school bus infrastructure investment pilot program.
 10 (a) The department is authorized and directed to administer an electric
 11 school bus infrastructure investment pilot program. Awards for such
 12 program shall be decided through the existing regional economic develop-
 13 ment council process, with two school districts within each economic
 14 development region being awarded grants on a competitive basis each
 15 year. Such grant money may be used to offset the cost of planning and
 16 building the clean energy micro-grids needed to effectuate the conver-
 17 sion to electric buses, including, but not limited to, expenses such as
 18 engineering, land use, and other studies as may be necessary, as well as
 19 for other purposes deemed feasible and advisable by the department. Such
 20 micro-grid systems shall allow for the clean energy production of charg-
 21 ing infrastructure, by producing reduced long term operating expenses,
 22 and reliable power generation to meet the state's goals and mandates in
 23 this area.

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