MODERATE

The bill was amended to add a formal title, expand the list of sponsors, and significantly alter the requirements for gas corporations. The changes shift the filing target from the Public Service Commission to the Department of Environmental Conservation, require maps to be in a machine-readable GIS format, and mandate that at least five specific neighborhoods be designated as priority decarbonization zones annually.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include mandatory notification to the Department of Environmental Conservation and introduced a new requirement to designate specific priority neighborhoods for decarbonization efforts.

REQUIREMENT

Added a formal title for the act, known as the 'mapping for affordable planning (MAP) act'.

Changed the filing requirement from a paper map to the Public Service Commission to a machine-readable Geographic Information System (GIS) map filed with the Department of Environmental Conservation.

Replaced the requirement to identify 'disadvantaged communities' in the map with a mandate to show neighborhoods at a specific 150-foot granularity.

Added a new requirement for the commission to designate at least five 'neighborhood priority decarbonization zones' annually based on specific criteria like pollution levels and asthma rates.

TIMELINE

Established a 90-day public comment period before designating priority zones and set a deadline of 18 months for the initial designation of these zones.
