BILL NUMBER:S5403 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public service law, in relation to certain farm waste electric generating equipment PURPOSE: To promote the creation of anaerobic digesters by increasing the percentage of the local feeder line's rated capacity of which farm waste electric generating equipment can produce.
