Excerpt: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, unhappy with a recent Albany County Supreme Court Justice’s ruling, said the state may need to modify its landmark climate law because it has become too expensive to follow.
The governor’s reaction was in response to Justice Julian D. Schreibman’s Friday ruling that forces the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to issue regulations to ensure that the state meets its greenhouse gas reduction goals.
The 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act says the state must reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and 85% by 2050.
The CLCPA had set a Jan. 1, 2024, deadline to write and enact the new rules, which still have not been published.
