2006 New York Code - Operating Assistance For Certain Public Utility Services.

 
    § 21-f. Operating assistance for certain public utility services. Each
  city  having  a population of one million or more shall be authorized to
  make an appropriation, notwithstanding any provision of general, special
  or local law to the contrary, to a public utility  service  operated  by
  such  city  in  accordance  with a local law adopted pursuant to article
  fourteen-A of the general municipal law for the purpose of reducing  the
  rates charged for the electricity sold and billed by such public utility
  service to non-residential energy users, without the billing services of
  a  utility,  so  as  to enable such public utility service to reduce its
  rates and charges in a proportion substantially equivalent to reductions
  effected by rebates made to non-residential energy users  in  accordance
  with  a local law adopted pursuant to authorization contained in article
  two-G of this chapter. Any funds so appropriated shall be used  by  such
  public  utility  service  to  effect a reduction of rates and charges of
  such public utility service in the  manner  hereinabove  described.  For
  purposes  of  this  section  the  terms  "non-residential  energy user",
  "rebate" and "utility" shall have the meanings ascribed by article two-G
  of this chapter.
