THOMAS, PALUMBO, SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investi- gations and Government Operations AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to the legislative commission on the future of the Long Island Power Authority THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Subdivisions 1, 10, and 12 of section 83-n of the legisla- tive law, as added by section 1 of part JJ of chapter 55 of the laws of 2022, are amended to read as follows: 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that chapter 517 of the laws of 1986 created the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). Said authority was created, in part, because the decisions by LILCO, the private utility that provided electricity to Long Island and part of Queens, "to commence construction of the Shoreham nuclear power plant and thereafter to continue such construction were imprudent". Further, the legislature found in chapter 517 of the laws of 1986 that "a situ- ation threatening the economy, health and safety exists in the service area". One of the two express purposes of the act was the closure of the Shoreham nuclear power plant. In 1992, LIPA bought the Shoreham nuclear power plant. The plant was fully decommissioned in 1994. The second purpose of such chapter 517 was to replace LILCO with a publicly owned power authority. The legislature found that "There is a lack of confidence that the needs of the residents and of commerce and industry in the service area for electricity can be supplied in a reli- able, efficient and economic manner by the Long Island lighting company (hereinafter referred to as "LILCO")" and "Such matters of state concern best can be dealt with by replacing such investor owned utility with a publicly owned power authority." In 1995, LIPA replaced LILCO as the electric company for its service area. However, LIPA was never established as a true "publicly owned EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD11537-01-3
