     3  § 19-0325. Sulfur reduction requirements.
     4    (1) On or after July first, two thousand twelve, all number two  heat-
     5  ing  oil  sold for use in residential, commercial, or industrial heating
     6  within the state shall not have a sulfur content  greater  than  fifteen
     7  parts per million.
     8    (2)  The  governor  may,  by  issuing  an executive order, temporarily
     9  suspend the applicability of this section  at  any  time  based  on  the
    10  governor's  determination,  after  consulting  with  the New York energy
    11  research and development authority,  that  meeting  the  requirement  of
    12  subdivision  one of this section is not feasible due to lack of adequate

    13  supply of the required fuel.
    14    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
