46 PART JJ

47 Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 83-n


48 to read as follows:
49 ______________________________________________________________________
§ 83-n. Legislative commission on the future of the Long Island Power
50 ________________________________________________________________________
Authority. 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that chapter 517
51 ________________________________________________________________________
of the laws of 1986 created the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). Said
52 ________________________________________________________________________
authority was created, in part, because the decisions by LILCO, the

AB
S. 8005--C 19 A. 9005--C

1 ________________________________________________________________________
private utility that provided electricity to Long Island and part of
2 ________________________________________________________________________
Queens, "to commence construction of the Shoreham nuclear power plant
3 ________________________________________________________________________
and thereafter to continue such construction were imprudent". Further,
4 ________________________________________________________________________
the legislature found in chapter 517 of the laws of 1986 that "a situ-
5 ________________________________________________________________________
ation threatening the economy, health and safety exists in the service
6 ________________________________________________________________________
area". One of the two express purposes of the act was the closure of the
7 ________________________________________________________________________
Shoreham nuclear power plant. In 1992, LIPA bought the Shoreham nuclear
8 ________________________________________________________
power plant. The plant was fully decommissioned in 1994.
9 ______________________________________________________________________
The second purpose of such chapter 517 was to replace LILCO with a
10 ________________________________________________________________________
publicly owned power authority. The legislature found that "There is a
11 ________________________________________________________________________
lack of confidence that the needs of the residents and of commerce and
12 ________________________________________________________________________
industry in the service area for electricity can be supplied in a reli-
13 ________________________________________________________________________
able, efficient and economic manner by the Long Island lighting company
14 ________________________________________________________________________
(hereinafter referred to as "LILCO")" and "Such matters of state concern
15 ________________________________________________________________________
best can be dealt with by replacing such investor owned utility with a
16 ________________________________
publicly owned power authority."
17 ______________________________________________________________________
In 1995, LIPA replaced LILCO as the electric company for its service
18 ________________________________________________________________________
area. However, LIPA was never established as a true "publicly owned
19 ________________________________________________________________________
power authority" as originally envisioned by the State Legislature.
20 ________________________________________________________________________
Rather, since 1995, LIPA has opted for a third-party management model
21 ________________________________________________________________________
whereby LIPA contracts its responsibility to manage the utility to a
22 ________________________________________
private, investor owned utility company.
23 ______________________________________________________________________
LIPA is the only utility in the nation that is operated under a third-
24 ________________________________________________________________________
party management model. This model has repeatedly failed its customers.
25 ________________________________________________________________________
There has been a lack of transparency, oversight, and accountability.
26 ________________________________________________________________________
This failure has been most dramatically evidenced in the unacceptable
27 ________________________________________________________________________
storm response by LIPA and its third-party contractors during Superstorm
28 ________________________________________________
Sandy in 2012 and Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020.
29 ______________________________________________________________________
After more than 25 years of unsatisfactory management under the third-
30 ________________________________________________________________________
party management model, a better alternative must be implemented. That
31 ________________________________________________________________________
inquiry must begin with the original intent of chapter 517 of the laws
32 ________________________________________________________________________
of 1986, whereby LIPA was to directly manage and operate the utility as
33 ________________________________________________________________________
a true public power utility. Initial investigations by LIPA after Trop-
34 ________________________________________________________________________
ical Storm Isaias in 2020-2021 indicate that both ratepayer savings and
35 ________________________________________________________________________
increased management efficiencies could be achieved through the public
36 ____________
power model.
37 ______________________________________________________________________
Consequently, it is the purpose of this section to implement the
38 ________________________________________________________________________
original vision for LIPA intended by chapter 517 of the laws of 1986, as
39 ________________________________________________________________________
a publicly owned power company. The legislature hereby creates a
40 ________________________________________________________________________
commission to provide the legislature with the specific actions, legis-
41 ________________________________________________________________________
lation, and timeline necessary to restructure LIPA into a true publicly
42 ________________________________________________________________________
owned power authority. The public must participate in that process so
43 ________________________________________________________________________
that the new LIPA becomes transparent with proper oversight and account-
44 ________________________________________________________________________
ability. The legislative commission shall submit its final report to the
45 _________________________________________________________________
legislature no later than April first, two thousand twenty-three.
46 ______________________________________________________________________
2. A legislative commission is hereby established to investigate and
47 ________________________________________________________________________
report to the legislature on the establishment of a public power model
48 ________________________________________________________________________
for the operation of LIPA, whereby the authority would directly operate
49 ________________________________________________________________________
the utility as a true public power authority. The commission shall
50 ________________________________________________________________________
report to the legislature on the specific actions, legislation, and
51 ________________________________________________________________________
timeline necessary to restructure LIPA into a true publicly owned power
52 ________________________________________________________________________
authority. The commission shall consider: (a) the method of governance
53 ________________________________________________________________________
of the public authority; (b) improved transparency, accountability, and
54 ________________________________________________________________________
public involvement; (c) improved reliability of the system; (d) the
55 ________________________________________________________________________
impact on electric rates; (e) improved storm response; (f) the powers
56 ________________________________________________________________________
required by LIPA to more effectively operate the utility; (g) the over-

sight role of the department of public service and the public service
2 ________________________________________________________________________
commission over LIPA's operation; (h) the impact on existing bonded
3 ________________________________________________________________________
indebtedness; (i) improved long term energy planning; (j) compliance
4 ________________________________________________________________________
with the goals of the New York state climate leadership and community
5 ________________________________________________________________________
protection act; (k) increased reliance on renewable energy sources to
6 ________________________________________________________________________
produce electricity; (l) taxation and payments in lieu of taxes; (m) the
7 ________________________________________________________________________
special needs of communities that are or have been impacted by the
8 ________________________________________________________________________
siting of power generating facilities; and (n) any other matter relevant
9 ________________________________________________________________________
to the establishment of a public power model for the operation of LIPA.
10 ________________________________________________________________________
In its report to the legislature, the commission shall provide for the
11 ________________________________________________________________________
implementation of the public power model by LIPA no later than December
12 _______________________________________
thirty-first, two thousand twenty-five.
13 ______________________________________________________________________
