AN ACT to amend the New York state urban development corporation act, in
  relation to creating the small business energy loan program

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the  state's
chronically  high  energy  costs are often cited as a key factor for why
New York-based businesses and New York-made products are not competitive
in national and global markets. The legislature further finds  that  the
state's  economic  expansion  is  tied  to the growth and development of
small businesses. By reducing a primary  cost  component  in  a  rapidly
growing  sector  of  the  state's economy, those businesses are rendered
more competitive, and thus help to better secure New York-based jobs. In
addition, thriving businesses and communities will augment the tax base,
which in distressed communities  is  disproportionately  lower  than  in
other areas of the state.
  Therefore, the legislature seeks to provide funds to reduce high ener-
gy  costs,  via  a  zero  or  low  interest  loan, or loan interest rate
reduction program for energy efficiency projects to stimulate the growth
and development of small businesses and jobs in New York state.
  S 2. Section 1 of chapter 174 of the laws of  1968,  constituting  the
New York state urban development corporation act, is amended by adding a
new section 16-v to read as follows:
  S  16-V.  SMALL  BUSINESS ENERGY LOAN PROGRAM. 1. DEFINITIONS. FOR THE
PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION:
  (A) "AUTHORITY" SHALL MEAN THE NEW  YORK  STATE  ENERGY  RESEARCH  AND
DEVELOPMENT  AUTHORITY AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1851 OF THE PUBLIC AUTHORI-
TIES LAW.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
