Enacts the regional equity in policy implementation act

Summary

The bill creates a framework that forces any statewide climate, energy, infrastructure, economic development or municipal policy to be evaluated with a ten‑point regional impact test. It aims to identify and mitigate disproportionate burdens on New York’s diverse regions, from New York City to rural upstate areas. The assessment and a public report must accompany each policy, and high‑impact findings trigger revisions or mitigation measures.
