  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section  1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that: (a)

sources in existing buildings within the county of Nassau;
  (b)  in order to address the issue of global climate change and green-
house gas emissions in the county of Nassau, such  county  has  embarked
upon  an effort to reduce energy demand from existing buildings so as to
have the county of Nassau meet  statewide  energy  efficient  goals.  In
order  to  assist  residents and businesses in the county of Nassau make
energy efficiency  improvements  more  affordable  and  to  promote  the
installation  and  utilization  of such improvements, it is necessary to
set forth a mechanism to finance the  cost  of  such  energy  efficiency
improvements; and
  (c)  pursuant  thereto,  this act will help lower energy costs, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and make energy efficiency and renewable energy
improvements more affordable by establishing a sustainable  energy  loan
program  to assist homeowners and businesses within the county of Nassau
in the installation of distributed generation renewable  energy  sources
or  energy  efficiency  improvements.  Such  loans to be offered by such
county shall be repaid over a period of time through an  annual  assess-
ment on the real property of the borrower.
  S  2.  Definitions.  For  the  purposes  of this act: (a) "Distributed
generation" shall mean the generation of energy close to  the  point  of
use.
