Authorizes existing building projects to continue when the fossil fuel ban takes effect

This bill modifies New York's energy law to allow construction projects that have already received approval or permits to proceed even after a future ban on fossil fuel equipment takes effect. The underlying law prohibits installing fossil fuel systems in new buildings after December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2028, depending on the building's size and type. By adding an exception for approved projects, the legislation ensures that developers who have already started the permitting process are not forced to stop their work when the new restrictions begin.
