S 1347 establishes a price per ton of carbon dioxide emissions for electricity generated from carbon-based fuels (like coal and natural gas) in New York. This price, based on the state's social cost of carbon, would be paid by electricity generators using these fuels. Revenues collected would fund a new Carbon Dioxide Emissions Fund, with 60% distributed as tax credits to very low-to-moderate income residents (based on area median income) and 20% supporting renewable energy transitions in disadvantaged communities. The bill directly affects electricity generators using carbon-based fuels and aims to incorporate carbon pricing into New York's climate goals under the CLCPA.
This bill establishes a price for carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generated using fossil fuels (like coal or natural gas) and creates a fund to collect revenues from this price. It directly affects electricity generators using carbon-based fuels, requiring them to pay a fee based on the social cost of carbon. The fund's revenues will be distributed as tax credits to low- and moderate-income residents (those earning below 115% of area median income) and used to support renewable energy transitions in disadvantaged communities. The bill aims to advance New York’s climate goals by incorporating carbon pricing into electricity markets while directing funds toward climate equity.
This bill excludes Orange and Rockland counties from the metropolitan commuter transportation district (MCTD) payroll tax. It directly affects employers and self-employed individuals in those counties by removing them from the tax jurisdiction, meaning they will no longer pay the MCTD payroll tax that previously applied to businesses and self-employment earnings in those areas. The change modifies tax law definitions to exclude these counties from the MCTD boundaries, impacting both employer payroll tax rates (for businesses with varying payroll thresholds) and self-employment tax calculations. The policy change takes effect for taxable years beginning January 1, 2025.
