S 3535: Prohibits the granting of a certificate for the construction or operation of an on-shore or off-shore industrial wind turbine or wind farm within the jurisdiction and control of the state and within any area of the state outside of the city of New York unless a certificate for the construction or operation of an on-shore or off-shore industrial wind turbine or wind farm within geographic boundaries of or the shoreline adjacent to the city of New York is granted simultaneously.
What S 3535 does, verified January 8, 2026
The proposed law aims to regulate the construction or operation of industrial wind turbines within the state of New York. The law would prevent the granting of certificates for on-shore or off-shore wind turbines in areas outside of the city of New York unless a certificate is also issued for turbines within the city's geographic boundaries or shoreline. This requirement would apply to both the public service law and the environmental conservation law. The law would take effect immediately.
