The sponsor's argument

Why Dan Stec says this is needed

In 2014, per an agreement between the county of St. Lawrence, the Gover- nor of the state of New York and the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the Legislature passed and the governor signed into law the Northern New York Power Proceeds Allocation Act. The program was based on the previ- ously enacted Western New York Power Proceeds Allocation Act. The program was created to support eligible economic development projects located or proposed to be located in St. Lawrence County by eligible applicants. The program is funded by the sale of certain unal- located hydropower produced by NYPA at its St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, which has been made available to the Town of Massena electric Department under a contract with NYPA entered into in 2012 entitled "Agreement Governing the Sale of St. Lawrence-PAR Project Power and Energy" to the Town of Massena Electric Department for Economic Develop- ment Purposes." As of December 29, 2019, the megawatts eligible to be monetized for the purposes of economic development in St. Lawrence County has been reduced to ten. Ibis bill would remove the provision of law that resulted in this reduction, restore the 20 megawatts that existed from 2014 to the end of 2019, and provide for that megawatt monetization level to contin- ue in perpetuity.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
