If you have been abused or threatened, this is what you can ask the police or district attorney to do: File a criminal complaint against the person who harmed you. Ask the criminal court to issue an order of protection for you and your child if the district attorney files a criminal case with the court. Give you information about filing a family offense petition in your local family court. You also have the right to ask the family court for an order of protection for you and your children. This is what you can ask the family court to do: To have your family offense petition filed the same day you go to court. To have your request heard in court the same day you file or the next day court is open. Only a judge can issue an order of protection. The judge does that as part of a criminal or family court case against the person who harmed you. An order of protection in family court or in criminal court can say: That the other person have no contact or communication with you by mail, phone, computer or through other people. That the other person stay away from you and your children, your home, job or school. That the other person not assault, harass, threaten, strangle, or commit another family offense against you or your children. That the other person turn in their firearms and firearms licenses, and not get any more firearms. That you have temporary custody of your children. That the other person pay temporary child support. That the other person not harm your pets or service animals. If the family court is closed because it is night, a weekend, or a holiday, you can go to a criminal court to ask for an order of protection. S. 2505 21 A. 3005 If you do not speak English or cannot speak it well, you can ask the police, the district attorney, or the criminal or family court to get you an interpreter who speaks your language. The interpreter can help you explain what happened. You can get the forms you need to ask for an order of protection at your local family court (insert addresses and contact information for courts). You can also get them online: www.NYCourts.gov/forms. You do not need a lawyer to ask for an order of protection. You have a right to get a lawyer in the family court. If the family court finds that you cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, it must get you one for free. If you file a complaint or family court petition, you will be asked to swear to its truthfulness because it is a crime to file a legal document that you know is false."

Subdivision 6 of section 530.11 of the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 663 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: S. 2505--A 20 A. 3005--A 6. Notice. Every police officer, peace officer or district attorney investigating a family offense under this article shall advise the victim of the availability of a shelter or other services in the commu- nity, and shall immediately give the victim written notice of the legal rights and remedies available to a victim of a family offense under the relevant provisions of this chapter and the family court act. Such notice shall be prepared, at minimum, in plain English, Spanish, Chinese and Russian and if necessary, shall be delivered orally, and shall include but not be limited to the information contained in the following statement: "Are you the victim of domestic violence? If you need help now, you can call 911 for the police to come to you. You can also call a domestic violence hotline. You can have a confidential talk with an advocate at the hotline about help you can get in your community including: where you can get treatment for injuries, where you can get shelter, where you can get support, and what you can do to be safe. The New York State 24-hour Domestic & Sexual Violence Hotline number is (insert the state- wide multilingual 800 number). They can give you information in many languages. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call 711. This is what the police can do: They can help you and your children find a safe place such as a family or friend's house or a shelter in your community. You can ask the officer to take you or help you and your children get to a safe place in your community. They can help connect you to a local domestic violence program. They can help you get to a hospital or clinic for medical care. They can help you get your personal belongings. They must complete a report discussing the incident. They will give you a copy of this police report before they leave the scene. It is free. They may, and sometimes must, arrest the person who harmed you if you are the victim of a crime. The person arrested could be released at any time, so it is important to plan for your safety. If you have been abused or threatened, this is what you can ask the police or district attorney to do: File a criminal complaint against the person who harmed you. Ask the criminal court to issue an order of protection for you and your child if the district attorney files a criminal case with the court. Give you information about filing a family offense petition in your local family court. You also have the right to ask the family court for an order of protection for you and your children. This is what you can ask the family court to do: To have your family offense petition filed the same day you go to court. To have your request heard in court the same day you file or the next day court is open. Only a judge can issue an order of protection. The judge does that as part of a criminal or family court case against the person who harmed you. An order of protection in family court or in criminal court can say: That the other person have no contact or communication with you by mail, phone, computer or through other people. That the other person stay away from you and your children, your home, job or school. S. 2505--A 21 A. 3005--A That the other person not assault, harass, threaten, strangle, or commit another family offense against you or your children. That the other person turn in their firearms and firearms licenses, and not get any more firearms. That you have temporary custody of your children. That the other person pay temporary child support. That the other person not harm your pets or service animals. If the family court is closed because it is night, a weekend, or a holiday, you can go to a criminal court to ask for an order of protection. If you do not speak English or cannot speak it well, you can ask the police, the district attorney, or the criminal or family court to get you an interpreter who speaks your language. The interpreter can help you explain what happened. You can get the forms you need to ask for an order of protection at your local family court (insert addresses and contact information for courts). You can also get them online: www.NYCourts.gov/forms. You do not need a lawyer to ask for an order of protection. You have a right to get a lawyer in the family court. If the family court finds that you cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, it must get you one for free. If you file a complaint or family court petition, you will be asked to swear to its truthfulness because it is a crime to file a legal document that you know is false." The division of criminal justice services in consultation with the state office [for the prevention of] TO END domestic AND GENDER-BASED violence shall prepare the form of such written notice consistent with provisions of this section and distribute copies thereof to the appro- priate law enforcement officials pursuant to subdivision nine of section eight hundred forty-one of the executive law.

This act enacts into law components of legislation that would enable public employers to offer a temporary retirement incentive to their employees, as well as to provide an age 55/25 years temporary incentive for certain public employees. Each component is wholly contained within a Subpart identified as Subparts A and B. The effective date for each particular provision contained within such Subpart is set forth in the last section of such Subpart. Any provision in any section contained within a Subpart, including the effective date of the Subpart, which makes reference to a section "of this act", when used in connection with that particular component, shall be deemed to mean and refer to the corresponding section of the Subpart in which it is found, unless noted otherwise. The benefits of this act shall not be applicable to anyone who first became a member of a public retirement system of the state on or after January first, two thousand ten. § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that the retirement benefits provided for in this act are designed to achieve cost-savings for public employers and to avoid layoffs of public employ- ees in this time of fiscal need. Therefore, the retirement incentive benefit provided for in Subpart A of this act and the age 55/25 years retirement benefit provided for in Subpart B of this act are intended only to be temporary in nature for employees who are eligible to receive and qualify for the applicable benefit during the applicable time peri- ods specified within each Subpart. Further, nothing in this act shall be construed to create an expectation of a future or continuing retirement benefit for any public employee who is not eligible to receive and qual- ify for the retirement benefits in this act during the applicable time periods.

The amount of such benefit shall be reduced by five percent for each year by which retirement pursuant to this section precedes age fifty- five, provided, however, the foregoing reductions shall not apply: (i) in any case where an eligible employee can retire pursuant to a plan which permits retirement for service with immediate payability, exclu- sive of this act, prior to the age of fifty-five or (ii) to any time period subsequent to the point at which an eligible employee can retire for service without reduction of his or her service retirement allowance pursuant to article 16 of the retirement and social security law.

An eligible employee serving in an eligible title who participates in a retirement plan which provides for a retirement allowance equal to fifty percent of final average salary upon the completion of twenty-five years of service without regard to age and who is otherwise eligible to retire shall retire under the provisions of such plan. Such employee shall, at the time of retirement, be credited with one-twelfth of a year of additional retirement service credit for each year of service credit- ed under such plan as of the date of retirement, up to a maximum of S. 2505--B 82 three years of retirement service credit, subject to the provisions of subdivision b of this section. If such employee has not accrued, exclud- ing additional credit granted pursuant to this act, the minimum number of years of service required to retire with an allowance equal to fifty percent of final average salary under such plan, but has, with the inclusion of the additional credit provided under this act, accrued such number of years of credit, the benefit payable shall be the percentage of final average salary that would ordinarily be applicable to such individual upon retirement with such amount of credit (including incen- tive credit), reduced by five per centum per year for each year by which the number of years of service otherwise required to retire with an allowance equal to fifty percent of final average salary under such plan exceeds the amount of service credited to such employee under such plan at retirement (excluding the additional retirement incentive service credit provided pursuant to this act). Such reduction shall be prorated for partial years. b. A participant in an optional retirement program who is entitled to a retirement incentive pursuant to section five of this act shall receive an additional employer contribution equal to an amount, which shall be calculated as follows: (one-twelfth for each year of service) multiplied by (fifteen percent) multiplied by (the employee's earnable annual salary rate in effect on March 1, 2021 or the effective date of this act if the employee retires prior to March 1, 2021), such amount not to exceed forty-five percent of such salary rate. Such contribution shall be made to the employee's retirement annuity under the optional retirement program up to the maximum contribution allowable under section 415 of the internal revenue code. Any contribution in excess of that limit shall be contributed by the employer to an internal revenue code section 403(b) contract on behalf of the employee to the extent it can be contributed on a before-tax basis under the maximum limits allowed under the internal revenue code. Contributions in excess of that amount shall be paid in cash to the participant in three equal install- ments during a twenty-four month period commencing on such eligible employee's effective date of retirement. Provided, however, if the employee is employed by the city university of New York and in the active service of such employer on October 1, 2021 or the effective date of this act if the employee retires prior to October 1, 2021, the employee's earnable annual salary rate shall be the annual salary rate in effect on such applicable date. § 7. a. An employee of a state employer, other than the city universi- ty of New York, who retires pursuant to this act may defer calculation of the value of accumulated sick leave credits, if any, and partic- ipation in the state health insurance plan. b.

With respect to employees of the executive branch of a state employer, any position, other than a position supported by special revenue funds, vacated as a result of an eligible employee in an eligi- ble title receiving the retirement incentive provided by section six of this act shall be eliminated unless such position is identified by the director of state operations as one into which another state employee can be appointed, transferred or reassigned pursuant to the civil service law, rules or regulations, in which case the former position of the state employee so appointed, transferred or reassigned shall be eliminated. b. The director of state operations shall direct the department of civil service to prepare a report designating the title, grade level, salary, and classification, according to appointing authority, (i) of each position which is eliminated pursuant to subdivision a of this section, (ii) of each position into which another state employee was appointed, transferred, or reassigned and the former position of such state employee, and (iii) of each position which is eliminated as a result of an appointment, transfer or reassignment referred to in para- graph (ii) of this subdivision.

For purposes of this subdivision, the "city of New York" shall mean the city of New York or a participating employer a majority of the members of whose governing body are: (a) appointed by S. 2505--B 84 the mayor of the city of New York or other citywide elected official, a borough president of the city of New York, or any combination thereof; (b) designated by virtue of their city of New York office or position or their office or position with a participating employer whose governing board is described in paragraph (a) of this subdivision; or (c) appointed or designated by any combination of the foregoing.

Such increases shall not increase the benefit in excess of the service retirement benefit otherwise payable. § 11.

The director of state operations shall notify the head of the appropriate retirement system of the date of the open period appli- cable to employees of the executive branch or of a state employer prior to the commencement date. § 2. a. A state employer which elects to participate pursuant to section three of this act, participating employer which is not empowered to act by local law which elects to participate pursuant to section three of this act, or the city of New York, if it elects to participate pursuant to section three of this act shall establish a commencement date for the retirement benefit established under section five of this act in the following manner: (a) for the executive branch, the director of state operations shall establish the commencement date in writing to the appropriate retirement system; (b) for state employers described in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision c of section one of this act and participating employers that are not empowered to act by local law, its governing body shall adopt a resolution establishing a commencement date; (c) for state employers described in paragraphs (g), (h), (i) and (j) of subdivision c of section one of this act, the person or persons who make the election to offer the retirement incentive pursuant to subpart A of part CCC of the chapter of the laws of 2021 which added this subpart shall establish a commencement date in writing to the appropriate retirement system; and (d) for the city of New York, the chief executive officer shall issue an executive order establishing the commencement date, provided, however, no executive order, in the case of the city of New York issued pursuant to this section, shall in any manner supersede any local charter.

The resolution or executive order in the case of the city of New York shall be accompanied by the affidavit of the chief executive officer or other comparable official certifying the commencement date. b. A state employer, participating employer which is not empowered to act by local law which elects to participate pursuant to section three of this act, or the city of New York if it elects to participate pursu- ant to section three of this act shall be required to establish a commencement date under paragraph a of this subdivision for the retire- ment benefit established under section five of this act. In the event that a state employer, participating employer which is not empowered to act by local law which elects to participate pursuant to section three of this act, or the city of New York if it elects to participate pursu- ant to section three of this act fails to establish a commencement date for the retirement benefit established under section five of this act, the commencement date for the eligible employees of a state employer shall be July 1, 2021. The commencement date for the eligible employees of all other employers referenced in this subdivision shall be September 1, 2021. § 3. On or before September 1, 2021, a participating employer or a state employer described in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision c of section one of this act may elect to provide its employees the retirement incentive authorized by this act by (a) the enactment of a local law or (b) in the case of a participating employer which is not so empowered to act by local law or a state employer described in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision c of section one of this act, by the adoption of a resolution of its govern- ing body; provided however, no local law or resolution enacted pursuant to this section shall in any manner supersede any local charter, provided further, that for an educational employer such election must be made by July 1, 2021. For a community college operating under the program of state university of New York, such election shall be made by the board of trustees of such community college subject to the approval of its sponsor. A copy of such law or resolution shall be filed with the appropriate retirement system or systems, and, if applicable, on forms provided by such system. The local law or resolution shall be accompa- nied by the affidavit of the chief executive officer or other comparable official certifying the validity of such local law or resolution. The executive branch of the state shall be deemed to have made an election under this section upon its enactment. § 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any eligible employee who (a) has been continuously in the active service of a state employer or of a participating employer from February 1, 2021 to the date imme- diately prior to the commencement date of the applicable open period, (b) files an application for service retirement that is effective during the open period, and (c) is otherwise eligible for a service retirement as of the effective date of the application for retirement shall be entitled to the retirement benefit provided in section five of this act. § 5. a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an eligible employee who is: (a) a member of a retirement system and (b) who is entitled to a retirement benefit pursuant to section four of this act may retire during the open period without the reduction of his or her retirement benefit that would otherwise be imposed by article 11 or 15 of the retirement and social security law if he or she has attained the age of fifty-five and has completed at least twenty-five or more years of creditable service. An eligible employee who is covered by the S. 2505--B 89 provisions of articles 11 and 15 of the retirement and social security law shall retire under the provisions of articles 11 and 15 of the retirement and social security law. b. The director of state operations, the chief executive officer of the city of New York, or chief executive officer or governing board, as appropriate, of the participating employer may deny participation in the retirement benefit provided by subdivision a of this section if the director of state operations, the chief executive officer of New York city or the chief executive officer or governing board of the partic- ipating employer makes a determination that the employee holds a posi- tion that is deemed critical to the maintenance of public health and safety. c. Where an employee is eligible for the retirement benefit under this section and the retirement incentive authorized pursuant to section six of subpart A of part CCC of the chapter of the laws of 2021 which added this subpart, such employee shall elect a section under which he or she will participate. The benefits provided by subdivision a of this section shall not be conditioned upon a state or participating employer making the benefits of section six of subpart A of this part available to employees in their employ. Further, the benefits provided by subdivision a of this section shall not be available in conjunction with the bene- fits of section six of subpart A of part CCC of the chapter of the laws of 2021 which added this subpart. d. The action of the director of state operations, the chief executive officer of the city of New York, or chief executive officer or governing board, as appropriate, of the participating employer in denying the retirement benefit provided for in subdivision a of this section to any individual shall be subject to review in the manner provided for in article 78 of the civil practice law and rules. Such action for review pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules shall only be commenced by the individual that was denied the retirement benefit provided by subdivision a of this section. e. After making any such determination under subdivision b of this section, the director of state operations, the chief executive officer of the city of New York and the chief executive officer or governing board, as appropriate, of the participating employer shall notify the appropriate retirement system or teachers' retirement system of its determination. § 6. The pension benefit costs of section five of this act shall be paid by employers as provided by applicable law for each retirement system covered by this act over a period not to exceed five years commencing in the state fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. § 7. This act shall take effect immediately. § 3. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi- sion, section or subpart of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or subpart thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such invalid provisions had not been included herein. § 4. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that the applicable effective date of Subparts A and B of this act shall be as specifically set forth in the last section of such Subparts. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: S. 2505--B 90 This bill would provide a temporary retirement incentive for fiscal year 2021-2022 for eligible members of the New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS). Subpart A of the retirement incentive would provide certain eligible employees of employers who elect to participate a retirement incentive of one-twelfth of a year of additional service credit per year of accrued service credit up to a maximum of three additional years. To be eligible, a member must be eligible to retire, or have attained age 50 or greater, with at least ten years of service. Members subject to an early retirement reduction and less than age 55 at retirement will have their benefit further reduced by 3% per year prior to age 55. Members not subject to an early retirement reduction and less than age 55 at retirement will have their benefit reduced by 5% per year prior to age 55. Subpart B of the retirement incentive would permit eligible Tier 2, 3 and 4 members of employers who elect to participate to retire without early retirement reductions upon attainment of at least age 55 with 25 years of service. Currently 30 years of service are required. In order to receive either the Subpart A or Subpart B benefit, an eligible member of an employer who has elected to participate must retire during the employer's designated open period. For Subpart A, such open period shall be at least 30 but not more than 90 days in length and for educational employers, shall not extend beyond August 31, 2021. For Subpart B, the open period shall begin immediately after the election to participate and shall not extend beyond August 31, 2021. Members may not receive a benefit under both Subpart A and Subpart B. Employers partic- ipating in Subpart A or Subpart B (or both) would pay the cost of the retirement incentive over a period not to exceed five years, beginning in the state fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. It is not possible to accurately forecast the total cost to the New York State Teachers' Retirement System employers electing to participate in this retirement incentive because the number of eligible members electing to retire under the incentive, their ages and the amount of service credited cannot be readily estimated. The Subpart A cost, meas- ured as the increase in the present value of benefit per participating member, however, will range from 5% to approximately 250% of final aver- age salary, depending on the member's age, years of service, and tier at retirement. The Subpart B cost per participating member will range from 3% to approximately 200% of final average salary, depending on the member's age, years of service, and tier at retirement. The potential number of members eligible to benefit under Subpart A is much greater than under Subpart B. Member data is from the System's most recent actuarial valuation files, consisting of data provided by the employers to the Retirement System. Data distributions and statistics can be found in the System's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). System assets are as reported in the System's financial statements, and can also be found in the CAFR. Actuarial assumptions and methods are provided in the System's Actuarial Valuation Report. The source of this estimate is Fiscal Note 2021-9 dated February 3, 2021 prepared by the Actuary of the New York State Teachers' Retirement System and is intended for use only during the 2021 Legislative Session. I, Richard A. Young, am the Actuary for the New York State Teachers' Retirement System. I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and I meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actu- aries to render the actuarial opinion contained herein. S. 2505--B 91 FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would provide additional service credit (one-twelfth of a year for each year of non-sick leave, non-Article 19 service credited as of the date of retirement, up to a maximum of three years) for certain members of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System, New York State Teachers Retirement System, New York City Teachers Retirement System, New York City Board of Education and the New York City Employees' Retirement System. Further, for certain members who are not otherwise eligible for a service retirement benefit, this bill would provide the ability to retire with reductions. This benefit would be available to only targeted positions. In addition, this bill would eliminate the early retirement reductions at 25 years of service instead of at 30 years of service for retirement during a specified 90 day period for Tier 2, 3 and 4 members of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System, New York State Teach- ers Retirement System, New York City Teachers Retirement System, New York City Board of Education and the New York City Employees' Retirement System. Employers electing this provision can declare health and safety positions to be ineligible. Retiring members may not receive both the additional service credit and the elimination of the early retirement reductions at 25 years of service instead of at 30 years of service. If this bill is enacted, insofar as it affects the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System (ERS), the additional cost for each member who receives these benefits will vary depending on the member's age, years of service, retirement plan and final average salary. We anticipate that the per-member cost (at retirement) of the addi- tional service credit benefit will average approximately 65% of a member's final average salary. This cost will be borne by each employer electing the incentive over a period not to exceed five years commencing with a payment in the State fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. We anticipate that the per-member cost (at retirement) of the elimi- nation of the early retirement reductions at 25 years of service instead of at 30 years of service will average approximately 115% of a member's final average salary. This cost will be borne by each employer electing the incentive over a period not to exceed five years commencing with a payment in the State fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. Summary of relevant resources: Membership data as of March 31, 2020 was used in measuring the impact of the proposed change, the same data used in the April 1, 2020 actuari- al valuation. Distributions and other statistics can be found in the 2020 Report of the Actuary and the 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The actuarial assumptions and methods used are described in the 2020 Annual Report to the Comptroller on Actuarial Assumptions, and the Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York: Audit and Control. The Market Assets and GASB Disclosures are found in the March 31, 2020 New York State and Local Retirement System Financial Statements and Supplementary Information.

This fiscal note does not constitute a legal opinion on the viability of the proposed change nor is it intended to serve as a substitute for the professional judgment of an attorney. S. 2505--B 92 This estimate, dated December 30, 2020, and intended for use only during the 2021 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2021-7, prepared by the Actuary for the New York State and Local Retirement System. § 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi- sion, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg- ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such invalid provisions had not been included herein. § 3. This act shall take effect immediately provided, however, that the applicable effective date of Parts A through CCC of this act shall be as specifically set forth in the last section of such Parts.

(ii) In any year in which a change in level of assessment of fifteen percent or more is certified for a final assessment roll pursuant to the rules of the commissioner, the exemption base shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total assessed value of the parcel on such final assessment roll (after accounting for any phys- ical or quantity changes to the parcel since the immediately preceding assessment roll), and the denominator of which shall be the total assessed value of the parcel on the immediately preceding final assess- ment roll.

PART XX Section 1. Section 1 of subpart H of part C of chapter 20 of the laws of 2015, appropriating money for certain municipal corporations and school districts, as amended by section 1 of part AAA of chapter 59 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows: Section 1. Contingent upon available funding, and not to exceed [$69,000,000] $140,000,000 moneys from the urban development corporation S. 2505--C 35 A. 3005--C shall be available for a local government entity, which for the purposes of this section shall mean a county, city, town, village, school district or special district, where (i) on or after June 25, 2015, an electric generating facility located within such local government entity has ceased operations, and (ii) the closing of such facility has caused a reduction in the real property tax collections or payments in lieu of taxes of at least twenty percent owed by such electric generating facil- ity. Such moneys attributable to the cessation of operations, shall be paid annually on a first come, first served basis by the urban develop- ment corporation to such local government entity within a reasonable time upon confirmation from the state office of real property tax services or the local industrial development authority established pursuant to titles eleven and fifteen of article eight of the public authorities law, or the local industrial development agency established pursuant to article eighteen-A of the general municipal law that such cessation has resulted in a reduction in the real property tax collections or payments in lieu of taxes, provided, however, that the urban development corporation shall not provide assistance to such local government entity for more than seven years, and shall award payments reflecting the loss of revenues due to the cessation of operations as follows: Award Year Maximum Potential Award 1 no more than eighty percent of loss of revenues 2 no more than seventy percent of loss of revenues 3 no more than sixty percent of loss of revenues 4 no more than fifty percent of loss of revenues 5 no more than forty percent of loss of revenues 6 no more than thirty percent of loss of revenues 7 no more than twenty percent of loss of revenues A local government entity shall be eligible for only one payment of funds hereunder per year. A local government entity may seek assistance under the electric generation facility cessation mitigation fund once a generator has submitted its notice to the federally designated electric bulk system operator (BSO) serving the state of New York of its intent to retire the facility or of its intent to voluntarily remove the facil- ity from service subject to any return-to-service provisions of any tariff, and that the facility also is ineligible to participate in the markets operated by the BSO. The date of submission of a local govern- ment entity's application for assistance shall establish the order in which assistance is paid to program applicants, except that in no event shall assistance be paid to a local government entity until such time that an electric generating facility has retired or become ineligible to participate in the markets operated by the BSO. For purposes of this section, any local government entity seeking assistance under the elec- tric generation facility cessation mitigation fund must submit an attes- tation to the department of public service that a facility is no longer producing electricity and is no longer participating in markets operated by the BSO. After receipt of such attestation, the department of public service shall confirm such information with the BSO. In the case that the BSO confirms to the department of public service that the facility is no longer producing electricity and participating in markets operated by such BSO, it shall be deemed that the electric generating facility located within the local government entity has ceased operation. The department of public service shall provide such confirmation to the S. 2505--C 36 A. 3005--C urban development corporation upon receipt.

Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of section 9-0501 of the environmental conservation law and the contrary provisions of the public lands law, the department of environmental conservation is authorized to grant easements for buried electric cables on real proper- ty within the Farmersville State Forest, Lost Nation State Forest, and Swift Hill State Forest, which meet the following conditions: (a) The easements are for buried electric cables which are part of a wind powered electric generation project located in the towns of Rush- ford, Farmersville, Arcade, Centerville, Freedom, and Machias. (b) The easements are for a portion of properties located within Farm- ersville State Forest, Lost Nation State Forest, and Swift Hill State Forest owned by the state and managed by the department of environmental conservation. To avoid impacts to these three state forests associated with the placement of buried electric cables serving the aforementioned wind-powered electric generation project and consistent with the certif- ication and approval of the project pursuant to article 10 of the public service law, the electric cables in these three state forests shall be installed underground, directional boring shall be used to install such underground cables, and, for the duration of and in connection with the easements granted, no trees shall be removed from these three state forests before, during or after installation of such buried cables. The buried cables shall be: (1) located underground for approximately 500 feet between turbines 101 and 102 (which are sited on private land), and passing below a section of Farmersville State Forest in Cattaraugus County; (2) located underground for approximately 1,600 feet on the south side of Hess Road along the Farmersville State Forest boundary in Cattaraugus County, turning southwest to follow an existing track for approximately 420 feet, and continuing west along the northern parcel boundary for S. 2505--C 38 A. 3005--C approximately 1,300 feet to the property line, to connect turbines 100 and 104 (both sited on private land); (3) located underground for approximately 2,950 feet along the west side of North Hill Road in Lost Nation State Forest in Allegany County to connect turbines 73, 75, 76, and 77 (all sited on private land) to the rest of the project; and (4) located underground for approximately 1,150 feet on the east side of Rushford Road, along the western edge of Swift Hill State Forest in Allegany County to connect turbines 124 and 125 (both sited on private land) to the rest of the project.

As a condition of conveyance Alle-Catt Wind Energy LLC shall submit to the commissioner of environmental conserva- tion for his or her approval an accurate survey and description of lands generally described in this section which may be used in the conveyance thereof. (e) The grant of the easements is conditioned on the issuance of certificates of environmental compatibility and public need pursuant to the provisions of article 10 of the public service law. § 3. The commissioner of environmental conservation may prescribe additional terms for such exchange of real property. Such contract shall not become binding upon the state until approved by the state comp- S. 2505--C 39 A. 3005--C troller. Title to the land to the people of the state of New York pursu- ant to the provisions of such contract shall be approved by the attorney general, and the deed to the state shall be approved by him or her as to form and manner of execution and recordability before such deed shall be accepted on behalf of the state. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of the public lands law, the conveyance of the state-owned easements pursuant to such contract shall be without reservation or exception, except as provided for in such contract. Upon certification by the commissioner of environmental conservation to the commissioner of gener- al services of a copy of the contract, and certification that Alle-Catt Wind Energy LLC has complied with all terms and conditions of the contract upon their part to be kept and performed, together with a description of any of the easements to be exchanged, conveyed and/or payments to be made, the commissioner of general services shall convey the easements described in section one of this act in accordance with the provisions of the contract. § 4. This act shall take effect immediately, and shall expire and be deemed repealed five years after such date; provided, however, should the easements be granted within the five years, the term of the ease- ments will establish the end date of the easements. At such time the land will revert back to the state of New York for state forest purposes. PART BBB Section 1.
