 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law and the public
 authorities law, in relation to establishing an economy-wide cap and
 invest program to support greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the
 state

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration. 1. Pursuant to arti-
 2 cle 75 of the environmental conservation law, as added by the Climate
 3 Leadership and Community Protection Act, the department of environmental
 4 conservation was required to promulgate regulations, by January 1, 2024,
 5 to ensure achievement of the statewide greenhouse gas emission limits,
 6 as defined and established therein. Among other requirements, the regu-
 7 lations promulgated by such department pursuant to section 75-0109 of
 8 the environmental conservation law must ensure that the aggregate emis-
 9 sions of greenhouse gases from greenhouse gas emission sources will not
 10 exceed the statewide greenhouse gas emissions limits established in
 11 section 75-0107 of the environmental conservation law; include legally
 12 enforceable emissions limits, performance standards, or measures or
 13 other requirements to control emissions from greenhouse gas emission
 14 sources; prioritize emissions and co-pollutant reductions in disadvan-
 15 taged communities; do not result in a net increase in co-pollutant emis-
 16 sions or otherwise disproportionately burden disadvantaged communities;
 17 and reflect, in substantial part, the findings of the scoping plan
 18 prepared by the Climate Action Council pursuant to section 75-0103 of
 19 the environmental conservation law.
 20 2. The scoping plan prepared by the Climate Action Council pursuant to
 21 section 75-0103 of the environmental conservation law recommends that

 6 3. An economy-wide cap and invest program, established through regu-
 7 lation by the department of environmental conservation and the New York
 8 state energy research and development authority, would meet the require-
 9 ments of section 75-0109 of the environmental conservation law.

 11 tion law, as added by chapter 106 of the laws of 2019, is amended and
