                                     March 23, 2023
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. BARRETT -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Energy
 
        AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to  establishing
          the  zero-emission  vehicles  rebate  program;  and  providing for the
          repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The  public  authorities  law  is amended by adding a new
     2  section 1885 to read as follows:
     3    § 1885. Previously owned zero-emission  vehicles  rebate  program.  1.
     4  There  is  hereby  created within the authority a zero-emission vehicles
     5  rebate program. The purpose of the program is to reduce  greenhouse  gas
     6  emissions,  improve air quality, and reduce noise pollution by promoting
     7  the adoption of quieter, zero-emission vehicles.
     8    2. As used in this section:
     9    (a) "Institutional or commercial applicant" shall  mean  a  commercial
    10  business,  or  a  state  agency, state authority, local authority, town,
    11  county, village, school district, private school,  university,  not-for-
    12  profit corporation, or other nonprofit organization.
    13    (b) "Individual applicant" shall mean a person, who is not an institu-
    14  tional or commercial applicant, and who intends to use an eligible zero-
    15  emission  vehicle  for  private  home  use  and  not  for any commercial
    16  purposes.
    17    (c) "Zero-emission vehicle" shall have the same meaning as under  part
    18  two hundred eighteen of title six of the New York codes, rules and regu-
    19  lations.
    20    (d)  "Eligible zero-emission vehicle" shall mean a zero-emission vehi-
    21  cle that has been used or previously owned, and is purchased  or  leased
    22  from a storefront or online retailer.
    23    (e)  "Local  authority"  shall have the same meaning as in subdivision
    24  two of section two of this chapter.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD09293-01-3
        A. 5769                             2
 
     1    (f) "State agency" shall mean all state departments,  boards,  commis-
     2  sions, offices or institutions.
     3    (g)  "State  authority"  shall have the same meaning as in subdivision
     4  one of section two of this chapter.
     5    3. The authority shall award rebates to  institutional  or  commercial
     6  applicants  and  individual applicants at the point of sale for eligible
     7  zero-emission vehicles in amounts up to two thousand dollars, as  deter-
     8  mined by the authority.
     9    4. The authority shall determine the rebate eligibility of each appli-
    10  cant  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of this section and rules
    11  promulgated by the authority. The total amount of rebates  allocated  to
    12  certified  applicants in each fiscal year shall not exceed the amount of
    13  funds available for the program in such fiscal year.  Rebates  shall  be
    14  allocated  to applicants on a first-come, first-served basis, determined
    15  by the date the application is received, until  all  appropriated  funds
    16  for  the  fiscal  year are expended or the program ends, whichever comes
    17  first.
    18    5. The authority shall promulgate rules and regulations  to  implement
    19  and  administer  the  provisions  of this section no later than one year
    20  after the effective date of this  section,  including  rules  and  regu-
    21  lations  relating  to  the  forms  required to claim a rebate under this
    22  section, the required documentation and basis for establishing eligibil-
    23  ity for a rebate, procedures and guidelines for claiming a  rebate,  the
    24  collection  of  economic  impact  data  from  applicants,  and any other
    25  requirements the authority deems necessary. The authority shall  conduct
    26  education  and  outreach, with informational materials made available in
    27  at least English and the three most common non-English languages  spoken
    28  by  individuals  with  limited-English  proficiency  in the state of New
    29  York, based on United States census data, as necessary to inform  poten-
    30  tial  applicants  and manufacturers and retailers of eligible zero-emis-
    31  sion vehicles about the zero-emission vehicles rebate program.
    32    6. The authority shall determine and publish  on  its  website  on  an
    33  ongoing  basis  the amount of available funding for rebates remaining in
    34  each fiscal year.
    35    7. No later than two years after the effective date of  this  section,
    36  and  annually  thereafter  on  the first of January, the authority shall
    37  issue a report to the temporary president of the senate, the speaker  of
    38  the assembly, the chair of the senate committee on energy and telecommu-
    39  nications  and  the  chair of the assembly committee on energy detailing
    40  the status of the zero-emission vehicles  rebate  program.  Such  report
    41  shall include:
    42    (a)  the  amount of funding dedicated by the authority for the program
    43  in the preceding year;
    44    (b) the amount of eligible purchases for which a rebate was awarded;
    45    (c) the amount and geographic distribution of rebates; and
    46    (d) any other information the authority deems necessary.
    47    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  expire  and  be
    48  deemed repealed January 1, 2029.
