BILL NUMBER:S5486 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the town law, the village law and the general city law, in relation to generic environmental impact statements PURPOSE: To make a technical correction in the existing law. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends §261-b(3)(d) of the Town Law to reflect the accurate statutory requirement for an environmental impact statement. Section 2 amends §7-706(3)(d) of the Village Law to reflect the accurate statutory requirement for an environmental impact statement. Section 3 amends §81(d)(3)(d) of the General City Law to reflect the accurate statutory requirement for an environmental impact statement. JUSTIFICATION: The current language of these sections of Town, Village, and City law reference a section of DEC regulations that is inaccurate. Rather than insert the accurate regulatory reference, this bill amends the statute to refer to the originating statutory authority for an envi- ronmental impact statement, article eight of the environmental conserva- tion law. This will eliminate a generic environmental impact statement pursuant to the provisions of 6NYCRR §617.15, the need to go back and correct the regulatory reference should DEC renumber its regulations again, and brings the language into compliance with the State Constitu-
