Go to topNEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A986 SPONSOR: Sayegh
  PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to effectuate an amendment to Chapter 728 of the laws of 2022 (approval memo 49), related prioritizing the restora- tion of power to emergency service providers.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one clarifies that the communication requirements of the original chapter are triggered if the outage lasts more than 24 hours, and adds advanced life support first response service facilities to the list of emergency departments that should be listed for the purposes of prioritizing power restoration or the facilitation of obtaining an alternative power source. Additionally, this section requires towns, cities and villages to provide a list to the County, and the County to provide such list to the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, of all such departments within their jurisdiction. Section two ensures the same processes and requirements are followed in the Long Island Power Authority's jurisdiction. Section three removes the requirement that the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services has to provide these departments with alternative power sources. Section four requires the locality's chief executive to coordinate with such departments within their jurisdiction to facilitate such department obtaining an alternative power source. Section five changes the effective date of the.original chapter from immediately to one year in order to give localities time to comply with the requirements set forth in this legislation and the original chapter. Section six is the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Our life saving services such as police, fire, and ambulance services play a critical role in saving citizens lives. Their ability to operate at full capacity comes into question when they do not have power. While some of police, fire, and ambulance services have some redundancy not all do. Chapter 728 of the laws of 2022 ensures that all police, fire, and ambulance can maintain adequate electricity to operate all life safety systems, as well as their basic operations. This legislation ensures that there is a line of communication between emergency service departments, municipalities, and the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for when these prolonged outages occur, in order to help facilitate emergency departments obtaining alternative power sourc- es.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This bill is a chapter amendment to chapter 728 of the laws of 2022.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2022 related to requiring electric corporations to prioritize restoration of service to emergency service providers during power outages, as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.926-C and A.3318-C, takes effect.
