This bill is a concurrent resolution from the New York State Legislature that formally requests the U.S. Congress to call a constitutional convention. Under Article V of the Constitution, states can apply for such a convention to propose amendments when two-thirds of state legislatures agree on the same subject. The resolution specifically asks for a convention limited to proposing amendments that would impose fiscal limits on the federal government, restrict federal power and jurisdiction, and limit the terms of office for members of Congress and other federal officials. If approved, the New York Secretary of State will send copies of this application to federal officials and other state legislatures to track progress toward the required two-thirds threshold.
This bill prohibits government incentives for commercial renewable energy projects like solar farms in sensitive environmental areas and on active farmland, with specific exceptions for agrivoltaic systems that combine solar power with agriculture. It removes eligibility for financial assistance, zero emission credits, and tax exemptions for such projects located in critical environmental areas, bird conservation zones, grassland bird centers, and wildlife management areas. The legislation also formally defines agrivoltaics as solar systems that simultaneously produce energy and agricultural products without displacing farming activities, while excluding certain practices like sole reliance on pollinator habitats or sheep grazing. These changes directly affect developers proposing renewable energy projects and government agencies administering agricultural and environmental programs.

This bill authorizes Hachaim Veshalom, a not-for-profit corporation, to apply for a retroactive real property tax exemption for two specific parcels (734 Woodfield Road, West Hempstead) on Nassau County tax rolls covering 2022-2023 school and general tax assessments. If approved by the Nassau County assessor and legislature, the exemption would apply retroactively, allowing the organization to receive refunds for taxes paid on those parcels during those years. The bill specifically enables the county assessor to accept this late application as if it were filed by the original deadline. This is a procedural exception for one organization, not a change to general tax law.
