Relates to the transportation of liquefied natural and petroleum gas; repealer

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to update safety rules for transporting liquefied natural and petroleum gas within the state. It requires the Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation, to establish route certification criteria considering population proximity, fire department capabilities to handle gas leaks or fires, and accident risks - ensuring standards meet or exceed federal regulations. The bill mandates that carriers must hold federal hazardous materials permits and that local fire departments receive notice about route safety assessments. It repeals outdated provisions while clarifying enforcement, including civil penalties for non-compliance and requiring cost analyses for fire department training upgrades. The changes directly affect gas transportation companies, local fire departments, and state agencies overseeing safety compliance.
