 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to directing
 state agencies and public authorities to reduce their energy use, and
 to prepare reports of their actions and achievements relating to ener-
 gy efficiency and provide such reports to the New York power authority

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

 1 Section 1. Section 1005 of the public authorities law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 31 to read as follows:
 3 31. Energy efficiency improvements of state buildings shall be the
 4 responsibility of the state agencies and authorities. Notwithstanding
 5 any law to the contrary, all "affected state entities" ("ASEs"), which
 6 includes all agencies and departments over which the governor has execu-
 7 tive authority, and all public-benefit corporations, public authorities
 8 and commissions for which the governor appoints the chair, the chief
 9 executive or the majority of board members, except for the Port Authori-
 10 ty of New York and New Jersey, shall be responsible for collectively
 11 reducing their energy use for all state-owned and managed buildings by
 12 at least twenty percent from a baseline established as of March thirty-
 13 first, two thousand eighteen for such buildings by April first, two
 14 thousand thirty-one ("target").
 15 (a) The authority shall establish a central management and implementa-
 16 tion team ("CMIT") to oversee the ASEs and administer any programs
 17 necessary to achieve the target. The CMIT is hereby authorized to:
 18 (i) take all appropriate measures to ensure that the target is met;
 19 (ii) direct ASEs to comply with the requirements of this subdivision;
 20 (iii) create guidelines ("guidelines") to assist ASEs in complying
 21 with the requirements of this subdivision, and thereafter update such
 22 guidelines as necessary;

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 5 sion;
 6 (vi) develop and implement reporting requirements to document each
 7 ASE's progress toward meeting the target;
 8 (vii) develop a comprehensive operations and maintenance plan for the
 9 state's building portfolio to help achieve no cost and low cost effi-
 10 ciency improvements and ensure that efficiency savings are sustained;
 11 (viii) submit an annual report to the governor by January fifteenth of
 12 each year detailing the overall progress ASEs are making toward meeting
 13 the target.
 14 (b) In addition to the requirements established in this subdivision,
 15 each ASE shall comply with the following:
 16 (i) For each state fiscal year, each ASE shall measure the energy use
 17 in state-owned and managed buildings having an area greater than twenty
 18 thousand square feet;
 19 (ii) Buildings that receive low benchmark scores, as defined by the
 20 guidelines, shall undergo an American Society of Heating, Refrigeration,
 21 and Air-Conditioning Engineers ("ASHRAE") Level II energy audit, or any
 22 other comparable audit that the CMIT approves. In addition to energy
