New York’s All-Electric Building Act Delayed Amid Legal Battle Over Emissions Rules
New York's All-Electric Building Act, due to take effect in January, has been delayed. The act, which mandates new constructions to be fully electric, faces a legal challenge from fossil fuel and building industry groups. The name of the appellate jurisdiction reviewing the dispute remains unknown.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the postponement, pending a ruling from an appellate court. The lawsuit, filed by industry groups, contests the act's requirements. The appellate jurisdiction, however, has not been disclosed. The act aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting electric-powered buildings. Its implementation is now uncertain until the legal dispute is resolved.
The All-Electric Building Act's enforcement is temporarily halted. The outcome of the lawsuit, currently under review by an unknown appellate jurisdiction, will determine its future. The act's goal to reduce emissions through electric-powered buildings remains a key objective.
