AN ACT to direct the office of general services to conduct a feasibility
  study on installing solar panels on all  public  buildings  under  the
  jurisdiction  of the office of general services; and providing for the
  repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

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

  Section  1.  The  office of general services, in consultation with the
department of environmental  conservation,  shall  study  the  cost  and
viability  of  installing solar panels on all public buildings under the
jurisdiction of the office of general services. Such  study  shall  also
identify  buildings  that  have a historic design that the office deter-
mines shall be unduly burdened by solar panels; and buildings  that  the
office  determines  do not receive adequate sunlight to justify the cost
of installation of solar panels.
  § 2. No later than one year after the effective date of this act,  the
office  of  general  services shall report its findings of such study to
the governor and the legislature, as described under section one of this
act.
  § 3. This act shall take effect immediately, and shall expire  and  be
deemed repealed one year after such effective date.
