The sponsor's argument
Why Dan Stec says this is needed
Any regulation of greenhouse gas emissions within New York state must be based on technological and economic realities. As such, this legislation would delay certain thresholds within the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act an additional decade, and require future decisions be based on empirical evidence and study. Some estimates show the CLCPA will annually cost individuals, families, farmers and businesses billions of dollars through increased taxes, utility bills, and home and business conversion and retrofit costs. Given the wide-ranging impact the CLCPA will have on families and busi- nesses, it has become clear that a full, transparent, and detailed proc- ess must take place to provide the public with a full accounting of the true and actual financial costs the full implementation of the CLCPA will have on state residents and businesses.
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.
