        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  FERNANDEZ  --  read once and referred to the
          Committee on Governmental Operations

        AN ACT to direct the office of general services to conduct a feasibility
          study on installing solar panels on all  public  buildings  under  the
          jurisdiction  of the office of general services; and providing for the
          repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  The  office of general services, in consultation with the
     2  department of environmental  conservation,  shall  study  the  cost  and
     3  viability  of  installing solar panels on all public buildings under the
     4  jurisdiction of the office of general services. Such  study  shall  also
     5  identify  buildings  that  have a historic design that the office deter-
     6  mines shall be unduly burdened by solar panels; and buildings  that  the
     7  office  determines  do not receive adequate sunlight to justify the cost
     8  of installation of solar panels.
     9    § 2. No later than one year after the effective date of this act,  the
    10  office  of  general  services shall report its findings of such study to
    11  the governor and the legislature, as described under section one of this
    12  act.
    13    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately, and shall expire  and  be
    14  deemed repealed one year after such effective date.
