   NO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed

 AN  ACT  to  amend the executive law, in relation to requiring an annual
   report of all fossil fuel related tax expenditures; and to provide for
   the expiration of fossil fuel related tax expenditures
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Legislative  findings.  The  legislature hereby finds and
 declares that the use of fossil fuels result  in  greenhouse  gas  emis-
 sions.  The  state  has  a  goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by
 eighty percent below 1990 levels  by  2050  to  combat  climate  change.
 Therefore,  the  state has an interest in reducing tax expenditures that
 support fossil fuels. By creating a process through which  the  legisla-
 ture  would  review  existing  fossil fuel tax expenditures on a regular
 basis, the state can better ensure that they are in the public interest.
   § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 181 of the executive law is  amended  by
 adding two new paragraphs (c) and (d) to read as follows:
   (C)  "FOSSIL  FUEL"  SHALL  MEAN  COAL, KEROSENE, OIL, OTHER PETROLEUM
 PRODUCTS, AND FUEL GASES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO METHANE,  NATURAL
 GAS, LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS AND MANUFACTURED FUEL GASES.
   (D) "FOSSIL FUEL RELATED TAX EXPENDITURES" SHALL MEAN TAX EXPENDITURES
 THAT  DIRECTLY  SUPPORT, ENCOURAGE OR HAVE A SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP TO
 THE PRODUCTION,  TRANSMISSION,  DISTRIBUTION,  TRANSPORTATION,  STORAGE,
 SALE, PURCHASE, DELIVERY, CONSUMPTION OR USE OF FOSSIL FUELS.
   §  3.  Paragraphs  (f)  and (g) of subdivision 2 of section 181 of the
 executive law, as added by chapter 23 of the laws of 1990,  are  amended
 and two new paragraphs (h) and (i) are added to read as follows:
   (f)  comment, if any, on the effectiveness and efficiency of other tax
 expenditures; [and]
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
