Relates to environmental restoration projects; repealer

This bill modifies New York's environmental conservation law to clarify funding and definitions for cleanup projects. It requires that environmental restoration projects (starting in 2025-2026) be funded within available state appropriations and adds detailed definitions for terms like "contaminant" (including PFAS substances) and "municipality." Key provisions allow municipalities to use settlements from responsible parties to cover their share of project costs without triggering state fund recalculations, and prioritize projects in disadvantaged communities or brownfield areas. It also mandates that remediation standards meet existing public health and environmental protections, while providing state indemnification for municipalities that follow cleanup agreements.
