 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public service law is amended by adding a new section
 2 66-x to read as follows:
 3 § 66-x. Supplemental study of the costs, benefits, technical and
 4 economic feasibility of meeting the New York state climate leadership

 9 law, and in consultation with the president of the New York state energy
 10 research and development authority and the presiding officer of the

 11 deep electrification efforts in the residential, commercial, industrial
 12 and transportation sectors. This analysis shall address both short-term
 13 and long-term maintenance costs;
