From the introduced text, July 29, 2026:
AN ACT enacting the "just energy transition act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "just energy transition act". § 2. Legislative findings and statement of purpose. The legislature hereby finds, determines and declares: (a) New York state, especially New York city, is reliant on fossil fuels for energy production, making the transition to renewable sources for the downstate electricity system key to achieving the requirements of section 4 of the New York state climate leadership and community protection act, including that seventy percent of the state's electricity be from renewable energy sources by the year 2030 and that one hundred percent of the state's electricity be from zero-emission sources by the year 2040. (b) New York state is committed to the responsible replacement and redevelopment of its fossil fueled generation facilities that currently ensure resource adequacy in the state, especially in locations where the health benefits to historically disadvantaged communities can be maximized, and where the cost effective phasing-out of such facilities can be done while helping to ensure a just transition for the existing workforce.
