PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT directing the department of public service to prepare a written report on the effect of the COVID-19 state of emergency on certain utilities (Part A); and directing the department of environmental conservation to prepare a written report on the effect of the COVID-19 state of emergency on wastewater utilities (Part B) THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act enacts into law components of legislation relating to the effects of the COVID-19 state disaster emergency on utilities' services. Each component is wholly contained within a Part identified as Parts A through B. The effective date for each particular provision contained within such Part is set forth in the last section of such Part. Any provision in any section contained within a Part, including the effective date of the Part, 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 Part in which it is found. Section four of this act sets forth the general effective date of this act. § 2. Legislative findings and declaration. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, chapter 108 of the laws of 2020 was adopted to ensure that New Yorkers would not be deprived of a minimum standard of decency. The law prohibited termination of utility services at a pivotal moment when it became evident that sanitary conditions were required to combat the COVID-19 virus. The legislature finds and declares that it is unknown to the state the number of New Yorkers whom had their services terminated or disconnected during the pandemic. The legislature finds that many utility customers rely on continuous service for heat, water, and elec- tricity to power necessary equipment, such as life-saving health care EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
