Scorecard2 0 2 1 S TAT E E N V I R O N M E N TA LN E W Y O R K L E A G U E O F C O N S E RVAT I O N V O T E R S

At the New York League of Conservation Voters, we make it our mission to fight climate change through political action. The primary way we protect our planet is by advo-cating for legislation that we include in our Policy Agendas and by keeping legislators on the hook for their actions on that legislation.

Our annual State Legislative Environmental Scorecard is our method for holding representatives accountable. In consultation with our partners from environmental, environmental justice, public health, and transportation groups, we identify priority bills that have passed and those we believe have a chance of becoming law for inclusion in our Scorecard. We then score each Senator and Assemblymember based on their support of these bills.

We hope New Yorkers will use this Scorecard as a yardstick for measuring the actions their representatives took, or didn't take, on the environment. We also hope this Scorecard will continue to impact legislators' actions.

We are excited that the New York State Legislature passed several of our longtime priorities that focus on environmental health and justice.

Our state is leading the way in protecting children's health, reducing toxins in the environment, and advancing environmental justice. A highlight of this past session was the passage of the updated Safe

Schools Drinking Water Act, which will get more lead out of public school drinking water. The bill lowers the action level for lead exposure, making New York the state with the most stringent protections reaching the most students. We were also pleased that the leg-islature passed the Family and Firefighter Protection Act to ban chemical retardants that put the health of our communities and our firefighters at risk.

Several other policies identified in our State Policy Agenda also successfully moved through the legisla-ture. Both houses passed the Advanced Clean Car and Truck Rule in April, in addition to legislation to make EV charging rates more affordable and expanding the beneficiaries of community-distributed solar. In June, they voted to protect the Adirondack Park from aquatic invasive species.

Although we are not scoring this year’s budget, we want to highlight how New York served as a role model for other states to follow with its pro-environment budget. This included a re-authorized $3 billion Environmental Bond Act, a fully-funded Environmental Protection Fund, and an additional $500 million for clean water infrastructure. By including billions of dollars of investments in environmental initiatives that will create green jobs, New York is showing that we can fight both our climate crisis and our economic crisis at the same time.

Yet in spite of these wins, many policies highlighted in our Agenda that are essential to addressing the scope and scale of the climate crisis were left on the table. During this session, we worked to advance policies to tackle the leading source of emissions: transporta-tion, advocating for a clean fuel standard to make the fossil fuel industry pay for a transition to clean and renewable on-road transportation. We also fought for

legislation to reduce waste by implementing extended producer responsibility for packaging.

Unfortunately, the Assembly did not pass—or even introduce until after the session was over—legislation to make buildings more energy efficient, which would reduce pollution, slash emissions, and make utility bills more affordable. They also failed to move forward with measures to protect and preserve our environment and our natural resources. These included legislation to align New York’s conservation goals with the nationwide goal to protect 30% of our land and water by 2030, as well as legislation that would dramatically expand protection of New York’s wetlands. All three were bills that the Senate passed.

These policies would help us reach our climate goals and protect our health and our biodiversity while also

creating green jobs, and we are disappointed that the state legislature did not pass them. As Washington is finally advancing a climate recovery, we expect New York to continue to lead the way at home.

Next year will be a big year for New York policy and politics. While NYLCV is gearing up for the midterm elections and a ballot proposal for the $3 billion Environmental Bond Act, we will continue to fight for these policies. We will also be uplifting other key priorities including electric school buses and lifting the cap on zero-emission vehicle sales as we move into the 2022 legislative session. We look forward to working with our elected leaders to make sure our priorities become law next session.

About the BillsTransportation ADVANCED CLEAN CAR RULEA. 4302/S. 2758Transportation is responsible for 36% of New York’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—the number 1 source of climate pollution. Switching to zero-emission vehicles is key to achieving the state’s goal of reducing GHG emissions by 85% by 2050. This legislation puts New York on a path to sell 100% new zero-emission passenger cars and trucks by 2035 and 100% of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2045. A. 4302/S. 2758 passed the Assembly 4/20/21 and passed the Senate 4/26/21. Sponsored by Assemblymember Steve Englebright and Senator Pete Harckham.

LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARDA. 862-A/S. 2962-AA low carbon fuel standard would require fuel providers to reduce their emissions by at least 20% by 2030 and incentivize them to move away from carbon-intensive fuels like diesel and gasoline toward low- or zero-carbon fuels like electric batteries, biofuels, and hydrogen. A. 862-A/ S. 2962-A died in Assembly Environmental Conservation and Senate Environmental Conservation. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner and Senator Kevin Parker.

REFORMING EV CHARGING TARIFFA. 3876/S. 3929For New York to electrify its transportation sector, public, high-speed electric vehicle charging stations must be available, accessible, and affordable. Current charging tariff rates are based on peak use rather than typical use, making the costs to cover high-speed electric charging prohibitively expensive. By directing utilities to establish a more affordable commercial tariff for electric vehicle charging, this legislation will help grow our electric vehicle adoption rate and infrastructure. A. 3876/S. 3929 passed the Assembly 4/20/21 and passed the Senate 4/26/21. Sponsored by Assemblymember Michael Cusick and Senator Tim Kennedy.

ZERO-EMISSION TRANSIT BUSESA. 3090/S. 3535-BBuses are crucial to fighting climate change, expanding our public transportation, and reducing reliance on personal vehicles. Yet, most buses in New York run on fossil fuels. This legislation would require all public transit agencies that receive state funding to purchase only zero-emission buses and related infrastructure in replacing their bus fleets starting 2029. Decarbonizing the state’s transit buses will both reduce air pollution in environmental justice communities and advance New York’s climate change goals. A. 3090/S. 3535-B died in Assembly Transportation and Senate Transportation. Sponsored by Assemblymember Jeffrey Dinowitz and Senator Tim Kennedy.

Renewable EnergyCOMMUNITY SOLAR FOR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ACT S. 3521-A/A. 3805-ACommunity distributed generation (CDG) allows utility customers to buy credits for renewable energy generation facilities, which are then credited to their account, allowing New Yorkers who are unable to site renewables like solar on their property to participate in net metering. This legislation would allow customers in one utility territory to participate in CDG located in a different utility territory, benefitting both upstate renewable energy providers and downstate utility customers, particularly LMI households living in densely-populated areas that lack community solar projects. S. 3521-A/A. 3805-A passed the Senate 4/26/21 and passed the Assembly 6/10/21. Sponsored by Senator Kevin Parker and Assemblymember Michael Cusick.

PROHIBITING HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATIONS FROM RESTRICTING SOLAR S. 2997/A. 1933Solar generating systems are a key part of our transition to 100% clean and renewable energy. However, homeowners’ associations often

prevent homeowners from installing such systems on their homes. By prohibiting homeowners’ associations from unreasonably restricting the installation of solar, this legislation would permit homeowners in New York to choose clean solar energy. S. 2997/A. 1933 passed the Senate 2/10/21 and passed the Assembly 3/22/21. Sponsored by Senator Kevin Parker and Assemblymember Sandy Galef.

BuildingsENERGY EFFICIENCY S. 7176Decarbonizing our economy and reducing pollution is not just about replacing existing energy usage with clean and renewable sources; it is also about making our energy usage more efficient. This legislation removes existing barriers to help align the Energy Code with our clean energy and climate goals and increases appliance efficiency standards, ultimately helping to reduce utility bills by an estimated $2.5 billion and reduce GHG emissions by 21 million metric tons by 2030. Please note that we are only grading the Senate version of this legislation as the Assembly version was introduced after the regular legislative session ended. S. 7176 passed the Senate 6/10/21. Sponsored by Senator Kevin Parker.


HOME HEATING BIOFUELS A. 7290/S. 3321-ANew York is the largest user of home heating oil in the country, worsening climate change and public health alike. Biofuel blends, which mix conventional heating oil with renewable sources, are an effective way to reduce emissions using existing furnaces, bridging the gap as we move to fully decarbonize our buildings. This legislation works to immediately reduce emissions and improve public health, setting a benchmark of 5% of biofuel blends in home heating oil in 2022 and reaching 20% by 2030. A. 7290/ S. 3321-A passed the Assembly 5/19/21 and passed the Senate 5/24/21. Sponsored by Assemblymember Steve Englebright and Senator Todd Kaminsky.

LOW EMBODIED CARBON CONCRETES. 542-A/A. 2591Concrete, one of the most used materials in the world, is responsible for roughly 8% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. This legislation would establish guidelines for the procurement of low embodied carbon concrete, including incentives for its usage. S. 542-A/A. 2591 passed both the Senate and the Assembly 6/8/21. Sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Robert C. Carroll.

WasteEXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITYS. 1185-C/A. 5801This legislation would require producers of paper and packaging waste to take financial responsibility for the recycling of their products, either by funding existing municipal recycling or by creating new systems. As the volume of paper and packaging waste and the cost of recycling have grown, this would improve New York’s recycling rate, divert materials from landfills, and ease financial burdens on municipal recycling programs by shifting responsibility from government to producers. S. 1185-C/A. 5801 died in Senate Rules and Assembly Environmental Conservation. Sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Steve Englebright.

HOTEL TOILETRIESA. 5082/S. 543The small containers of personal care products in hotels are a prime example of single-use plastics’ wastefulness: they are carbon-intensive to produce, difficult to recycle, and are often disposed of before the end of their

usefulness. This legislation would ban these products from hotels, preventing hundreds of thousands of small plastic bottles from being sent to landfills every year. A. 5082/S. 543 passed the Assembly 4/20/21 and passed the Senate 4/26/21. Sponsored by Assemblymember Nader Sayegh and Senator Todd Kaminsky.

Toxic ChemicalsFAMILY AND FIREFIGHTER PROTECTION ACTS. 4630-B/A. 5418-AThis legislation bans certain chemical flame retardants in items where they are commonly found: reupholstered furniture, new mattresses, and electronic displays. Flame retardants have been linked to infertility, cancer, and adverse impacts on fetal and childhood development. These chemicals can leach into our environment and enter our bloodstream from day-to-day exposure. They also release carcinogenic chemicals when burned, threatening the health of our firefighters. S. 4630-B/A. 5418-A passed the Senate 6/8/21 and passed the Assembly 6/10/21. Sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Steve Englebright. IM

LEAD IN PUBLIC SCHOOL DRINKING WATERS. 2122-A/A. 160-BLead exposure is a major environmental health and justice concern linked to learning disabilities, aggravated behavior, and decreased cognitive ability. This legislation would lower the action level from 15 parts per billion (ppb) to 5 ppb, increase testing frequency to every three years, and ensure that the cost of lead remediation is covered in full by the Clean Water Infrastructure Act. S. 2122- A/A. 160-B passed the Senate 6/8/21 and passed the Assembly 6/9/21. Sponsored by Senator Gustavo Rivera and Assemblymember Richard N. Gottfried.

Natural ResourcesAQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIESS. 7010-C/A. 7735-AProtecting New York’s waters from invasive species is essential to main-taining healthy ecosystems, protecting local food chains, and preserving water quality. This legislation establishes safeguards against invasive spe-cies in the Adirondacks, allowing the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to establish inspection checkpoints in and around the Adirondack Park and directing DEC to create education and outreach materials. S. 7010-C/A. 7735-A passed the Senate 6/8/21 and passed the Assembly 6/9/21. Sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Billy Jones.

WETLANDS PROTECTIONS. 5116-C/A. 7850New York’s wetlands are essential ecosystems that sequester carbon, improve resilience against flooding, recharge our drinking water, and provide habitats for many of our endangered species. Yet many of our wetlands are vulnerable to development. This legislation would help protect over 1 million acres of wetlands statewide while improving public education and regulatory mechanisms. S. 5116-C/A. 7850 passed the Senate 6/8/2020 and died in Assembly Environmental Conservation. Sponsored by Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Steve Englebright.

30X30 LAND CONSERVATIONS. 6191/A. 5390This legislation sets a goal of conserving 30% of New York's land by 2030, in line with a national goal of conserving 30% of U.S. lands, inland waters, and oceans by 2030. Protecting our natural resources is key to combating the climate and biodiversity crises. New York's goal emphasizes food security and sustainability, restoration of biodiversity, climate resiliency, and expanded access to nature for all. S. 6191/A. 5390 passed the Senate 4/26/21 and died in Assembly Environmental Conservation. Sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and Assemblymember Patricia Fahy.

A Note toOur MembersIn 2021, you used your voice to tell your legislators to fight climate change, conserve natural areas, and protect public health. The environmental wins we were able to achieve this session were because of support from members like you. When we act together, we can get a lot done. An important part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. This scorecard tells you whether your local representatives listened to you and your neighbors by upholding their responsibility to protect the environment. Here are three ways you can continue helping to hold them accountable: TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS YOU KNOW THEIR SCORE: It only takes a minute to say thanks—or no thanks—to your legislators.

SPREAD THE WORD: Share this scorecard with your friends and family so they know the score of their elected officials.

DONATE: We could not accomplish our mission without the generous support of our members. Please make a donation so that we can continue fighting climate change.

Visit NYLCV.org/nycscorecard for more.

Methodology & Key ResultsBills that passed their respective houses of the legislature were graded on whether or not each legislator took the pro-environment vote. An unexcused missed vote is counted the same as an anti-environmental vote, though we did not count excused absences against the final score. Scored bills that did not reach a floor vote were graded on co-sponsorship. Members were given a grace period until August 12th to co-sponsor bills. Annual scores are based on a scale of 0 to 100 and calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes or bill sponsorships by the total number of bills each member was scored on. This year, we are grading 15 bills in the Assembly and 16 bills in the Senate, as Senators’ scores include the energy efficiency legislation. Legislative leaders were not graded, although the scores of their conferences, which they have a substantial impact on, are listed.

Rising StarsSenator Brouk and Assemblymember Anderson both earned perfect scores, demonstrating their wholehearted commitment to the environment even through a first year in office marked by an unprecedented public health crisis. Each stood up for tackling waste both big and small, uplifting environmental health and justice concerns, and taking on the two leading causes of climate change: transportation and building emissions. Both Senator Brouk and Assemblymember Anderson also advocated for key environmental funding in this year’s historic budget. We look forward to a long partnership with rising stars like Brouk and Anderson to continue to makethe environment a priority in the legislature.

Environmental ChampionsIn a year where the link between public health, climate change, and the environment has never been more clear, Senator Parker and Assemblymember Fahy showed great leadership in acting on these interconnected issues. Senator Parker, Chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Telecommunications, was an outspoken advocate for the clean fuel standard, along with bills to improve energy efficiency, expand the reach of community solar, and allow for more solar on home properties— all scorecard bills which he sponsored. As a member of the Assembly Committees on Transportation and Environmental Conservation, Assemblymember Fahy worked tirelessly to carry key environmental priorities. This included New York’s 30X30 land conservation legislation featured in the scorecard as well as policies to make electric school buses more affordable and to lift a cap on zero-emission vehicle direct sales- two pieces of legislation that will be a priority for NYLCV in the 2022 session.

Special ThanksWe would also like to give special thanks to Senator Gustavo Rivera and Assemblymember Richard N. Gottfried for their exceptional advocacy for long-time NYLCV priority legislation to improve lead protections in our schools.
