 Introduced by Sen. LANZA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the navigation law, in relation to license fees per
 barrel of petroleum

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 174 of the navi-
 2 gation law, as amended by section 1 of part X of chapter 58 of the laws
 3 of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (a) The license fee shall be nine and one-half cents per barrel trans-
 5 ferred, unless the major facility is located within one mile of a facil-
 6 ity in an adjoining state, which if such facility in another state was
 7 located in this state would be a major facility, then such fee shall be
 8 one cent per barrel transferred, provided, however, that the fee on any
 9 barrel, including any products derived therefrom, subject to multiple
 10 transfer, shall be imposed only once at the point of first transfer.
 11 Provided further, the license fee for major facilities that (i) transfer
 12 barrels for their own use, and (ii) do not sell or transfer the product
 13 subject to such license fee, shall be eight cents. In each fiscal year
 14 following any year in which the balance of the account established by
 15 paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section one hundred seventy-nine of
 16 this article equals or exceeds forty million dollars, no license fee
 17 shall be imposed unless (a) the current balance in such account is less
 18 than thirty-five million dollars or (b) pending claims against such
 19 account exceed fifty percent of the existing balance of such account. In
 20 the event of either such occurrence and upon certification thereof by
 21 the state comptroller, the administrator shall within ten days of the
 22 date of such certification reimpose the license fee, which shall take
 23 effect on the first day of the month following such relevy. The rate may
 24 be set at less than nine and one-half cents per barrel transferred if
 25 the administrator determines that the revenue produced by such lower

 1 rate shall be sufficient to pay outstanding claims against such account
 2 within one year of such imposition of the license fee. Should such
 3 account exceed forty million dollars, as a result of interest, the
 4 administrator and the commissioner of environmental conservation shall
 5 report to the legislature and the governor concerning the options for
 6 the use of such interest. The fee established by this paragraph shall
 7 not be imposed upon any barrel which is transferred to a land based
 8 facility but thereafter exported from this state for use outside the
 9 state and is shipped to facilities outside the state regardless of
 10 whether the delivery or sale of such petroleum occurs in this state.
 11 § 2. Subdivision 4 of section 174 of the navigation law is amended by
 12 adding a new paragraph (e) to read as follows:
 13 (e) Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of this subdivision, the surcharge
 14 established by paragraph (b) of this subdivision shall be one and one-
 15 half cents per barrel for any barrel that is transferred into a major
 16 facility located within one mile of a facility in an adjoining state,
 17 which if such facility in another state was located in this state would
 18 be a major facility, a
