 AN ACT enacting the "just energy transition act"

 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 "just energy transition act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and statement of purpose. The legislature
 4 hereby finds, determines and declares:
 5 (a) New York state, especially New York city, is reliant on fossil
 6 fuels for energy production, making the transition to renewable sources
 7 for the downstate electricity system key to achieving the requirements
 8 of section 4 of the New York state climate leadership and community
 9 protection act, including that seventy percent of the state's electric-
 10 ity be from renewable energy sources by the year 2030 and that one
 11 hundred percent of the state's electricity be from zero-emission sources
 12 by the year 2040.
 13 (b) New York state is committed to the responsible replacement and
 14 redevelopment of its fossil fueled generation facilities that currently
 15 ensure resource adequacy in the state, especially in locations where the
 16 health benefits to historically disadvantaged communities can be maxi-
 17 mized, and where the cost effective phasing-out of such facilities can
 18 be done while helping to ensure a just transition for the existing work-
 19 force.
 20 (c) A public policy purpose would be served and the interests of the
 21 people of the state would be advanced by directing the New York state
 22 energy research and development authority, in consultation with the
 23 department of public service and the department of environmental conser-
 24 vation, to continue the development of the study commenced in 2022, as
 25 referenced in the climate action council scoping plan of strategies to
 26 facilitate the replacement and redevelopment of New York's oldest and
 27 most-polluting fossil fueled generation facilities and their sites by
 28 2030, while ensuring resource adequacy, with renewable energy systems as
 29 defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 66-p of the public

 1 service law, energy storage systems, and electricity transmission and
 2 distribution systems and equipment.
 3 (d) It is the intent of the legislature in enacting this act to
 4 empower the New York state energy research and development authority,
 5 department of public service, and department of environmental conserva-
 6 tion, to develop a study as described in the climate action council
 7 scoping plan and paragraph (c) of section three of this act in the
 8 manner authorized and directed herein, and for those entities and the
 9 public service commission, and any other agencies or authorities of the
 10 state as may be required, to commence any proceedings or other initi-
 11 atives necessary to carry out the strategies described therein.
 12 § 3. The New York state energy research and development authority is
 13 authorized and directed to:
 14 (a) develop a study of competitive options to facilitate the phase-
 15 out, replacement and redevelopment of New York state's oldest and most-
 16 polluting fossil fueled generation facilities and their sites by the
 17 year 2030, with renewable generation options that include those
 18 described in the scoping plan issued
