 be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommunications

 AN ACT to amend the public service law, the public authorities law, the
 transportation corporations law and the labor law, in relation to
 enacting the NY Home Energy Affordable Transition Act; to repeal
 section 66-b of the public service law relating to continuation of gas
 service; and to repeal section 66-g of the public service law relating
 to the sale of indigenous natural gas for generation of electricity

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "NY Home Energy Affordable Transition Act" or the "NY HEAT Act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that:
 4 1. The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) sets
 5 forth ambitious mandates to achieve significant greenhouse gas (GHG)
 6 emission reductions across New York's economy, while prioritizing
 7 reductions in co-pollutant emissions in disadvantaged communities and
 8 requiring significant state investments to bring the affordability and
 9 health benefits of energy efficiency and clean energy to these communi-
 10 ties.
 11 2. Buildings are the largest source of GHG emissions in New York,
 12 contributing approximately one-third of the state's total emissions.
 13 They also produce significant local air pollution, leading to adverse
 14 health outcomes such as asthma and heart disease, especially in disad-
 15 vantaged communities. Reducing emissions and pollution from buildings is
 16 essential to meeting the CLCPA's climate and equity goals and improving
 17 public health.

 S. 4158 2

 1 3. Achieving New York's climate and equity objectives necessitates
 2 updating the regulation of gas utilities. Current policies create misa-
 3 lignment between gas system investments and the CLCPA's 2030 and 2050
 4 mandates, increasing the risk of a costly and disorderly transition.
 5 Strategic planning and investment are needed to decarbonize buildings,
 6 right-size the gas system, and ensure coordinated enhancements to the
 7 electric system, enabling equitable and affordable access to clean ener-
 8 gy solutions for all New Yorkers. Such investments will lead to signi
