AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to  establishing  an
  on-bill-financing  program  to  facilitate financing of micro-combined

BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  The public service law is amended by adding a new section
66-m to read as follows:
  S 66-M. ON-BILL-FINANCING PROGRAM. THE COMMISSION FOR EACH ELECTRIC OR
GAS CORPORATION OR  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION  PROVIDING  GAS  OR  ELECTRIC
SERVICE,  SHALL  ESTABLISH  AN ON-BILL-FINANCING PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTIAL
COMBINED HEAT AND POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT THAT SHALL:
  1. ENABLE ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS TO FINANCE ALL OF THE UPFRONT  COSTS  FOR
THE  PURCHASE  AND  INSTALLATION  OF RESIDENTIAL COMBINED HEAT AND POWER
GENERATING EQUIPMENT BY REPAYING THOSE COSTS OVER TIME AT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHAT THE CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE PAID FOR ELECTRICITY AND THE ACTUAL
COSTS INCURRED BY THE CUSTOMER;
  2. LIMIT ELIGIBLE EQUIPMENT TO THAT WHICH IS  COST-EFFECTIVE,  TECHNO-
LOGICALLY FEASIBLE, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL;
  3.  ENSURE  THAT THE REASONABLE COSTS OF THE ELECTRIC CORPORATION, GAS
CORPORATION OR MUNICIPAL UTILITY ARE RECOVERED;
  4. ENSURE THAT AN ELIGIBLE CUSTOMER CANNOT OBTAIN FUNDS FOR  THE  SAME
SPECIFIC  PURPOSE  FROM  MORE  THAN ONE ELECTRIC CORPORATION, GAS CORPO-
RATION OR MUNICIPAL UTILITY; AND
  5. ENSURE THAT ALL COSTS OF THE ON-BILL-FINANCING PROGRAM OR FINANCING
MECHANISMS ARE SOLELY BORNE BY THE CUSTOMERS THAT UTILIZE THE PROGRAM OR
FINANCING MECHANISMS, AND ARE NOT SHIFTED  TO  THE  OTHER  CUSTOMERS  OR
CLASSES OF CUSTOMERS OF THE ELECTRICAL OR GAS CORPORATIONS.
  S  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
have become a law.
