Senator Helming's Natural Gas Ban Questionnaire
Do you support New York’s plan to phase out the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels for heating and powering homes and buildings, starting in two years?
The Governor’s Executive Budget proposal would prohibit the installation of natural gas, propane and fuel oil hookups in new and existing buildings by 2035, specifically:
- December 31, 2025 for new one-family residential buildings of any height or multi-family residential buildings of three stories or fewer;
- December 31, 2028 for new multi-family residential buildings more than three stories or new commercial buildings;
- January 1, 2030 for existing one-family residential buildings of any height or multi-family buildings of three stories or fewer; and
- January 1, 2035 for existing multi-family residential buildings more than three stories or commercial buildings.
Please answer the question below, thank you.
