MODERATE
The bill was amended to add a new section establishing trustees for the Hudson Valley Power Authority and renumbered several subsequent sections. This change likely adds oversight or governance structure to the authority while reorganizing the bill's internal numbering.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on establishing the Hudson Valley Power Authority, but the addition of a trustees section suggests enhanced governance oversight.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new section 1022-b-1 establishing trustees for the Hudson Valley Power Authority, introducing a new governance requirement.
TECHNICAL
Renumbered multiple sections to accommodate the new trustees section, shifting section numbers from 1022-c through 1022-l to 1022-c through 1022-l-1.
Changed section 1022-e title from 'resource recovery waste to energy facilities' to 'related facilities', broadening the scope of facilities the authority can manage.
Updated bill metadata including session year designation from '2026' to '2026--A' and changed bill number from 'S. 2026' to 'S. 2026--A'.
