There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Emergency Provisions For The Metropolitan Area Of The City Of New York.
§ 1001-a. Emergency provisions for the metropolitan area of the city of New York. The legislature hereby finds and declares that extraordinary circumstances, including excessive costs, shortages of supply, and the inflated price of fuel threaten the capacity to provide utility service essential to the continued safety, health, prosperity and well-being of the people of the metropolitan area of the city of New York and, by reason of the interconnection and interdependence of electric facilities, the reliability of such service throughout the state and require emergency action by the state and its agencies. It is therefore declared that: 1. To preserve reliability of electric service in the metropolitan area of the city of New York and throughout the state and to assist in deterring further extraordinary increases in rates for electric service the authority should provide such supplemental electricity for such use in the metropolitan area of the city of New York as is consistent with continuing and maintaining the exemption of interest on authority bonds from the income tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of the United States and regulations and ruling thereunder. 2. It is essential that such electricity be provided at the earliest practicable time. 3. The authority should be authorized to acquire completed or partially completed generation, transmission and related facilities and fuel and fuel contracts. 4. Any cost savings realized in the production or delivery of electricity by reason of any such acquisition by the authority shall be passed on to consumers.
