A10468 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A10468
 
SPONSOR: Skartados
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the transportation corporations law, in relation to the construction of pipe lines   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend section 87 of transportation corporations law give local control to towns, over permitting the construction of a pipeline that would traverse within that particular municipality.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This would grant towns the power to accept or reject the construction of a pipeline project that would pass through its jurisdiction.   JUSTIFICATION: Current law requires a resolution by a city or village to permit a pipe- line to be constructed within its boundaries. This legislation will include towns to that law and thereby give towns the local control they need to protect their community. Pipelines transport volatile and dangerous materials that pose a number of health and environmental hazards to the communities through and next to which they are constructed. In order for such a project to be permitted with the town's borders, this law would require a resolution prescribing the route, manner of construction and terms upon which it would be granted, and that it be adopted at a regular meeting of the board of trustees of the town board or the legislative body.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
