 AN ACT to amend the multiple dwelling law, in relation to the standards

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Section 30 of the multiple dwelling law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 11 to read as follows:
 3 11. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for newly devel-
 4 oped residential units, including those created through the conversion
 5 of non-residential buildings to residential use, the requirement for
 6 openable windows shall be deemed satisfied if the unit complies with the
 7 mechanical ventilation standards set forth in ASHRAE Standard 62.1,
 8 "Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality", or any successor stand-
 9 ard, as amended or updated. Such standards must provide adequate indoor
 10 air quality and airflow through mechanical ventilation systems in
 11 accordance with the ASHRAE requirements.
 12 (b) No local government or municipality shall enact or enforce any
 13 law, code, or ordinance that imposes openable window requirements on
 14 residential units developed in accordance with the ventilation standards
 15 outlined in this subdivision.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 17 have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
