The New York League of Conservation Voters and NYLCV Education Fund released their 2024 State Policy Agenda today. “After the hottest year on record and a summer of apocalyptic orange hazy skies, the urgency of the climate crisis has never been more clear,” said NYLCV President Julie Tighe. “From cap-and-invest to a clean fuel standard and from decarbonizing buildings to bolstering large-scale renewable energy projects, it is time to move from planning to delivering tangible results and NYLCV’s State Policy Agenda is a roadmap to help lawmakers accomplish exactly that.”

Governor Hochul Signs First-in-the-Nation Bill to Limit Neonic Pesticides
A coalition of farmers, health professionals, and environmental groups are celebrating today after Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Birds and Bees Protection Act (S1856-A/A7640). The bill will limit the use of neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics), and, when fully implemented, would eliminate up to 80-90% of the neonics entering New York’s environment annually by prohibiting only unneeded neonic coatings on corn, soybean, and wheat seeds and non-agricultural lawn and garden uses.

NYLCV Releases 2023 State Environmental Scorecard
The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) is pleased to present the 2023 New York State Environmental Scorecard, an annual evaluation of State Legislators based on their support – or lack of support – for environmental legislation. Voters have come to rely on the scorecard as an easy-to-understand ledger on state environmental policies and an effective tool for evaluating and holding their elected officials accountable. Legislative gains were made on geothermal energy development and safer and cleaner drinking water in the state. NYLCV applauds the State Senate for passing a clean fuel standard and the NY HEAT Act, calls on the full legislature to pass in 2024.

Clean Water Advocates Applaud Gov. Hochul for Signing the Lead Pipe Right to Know Act
Governor Hochul took a major step to get the lead out of New York’s drinking water by signing the Lead Pipe Right to Know Act (A.6115/S.5112). Sponsored by Assemblymember Amy Paulin and Senator Gustavo Rivera, the bill will make it easier for New Yorkers to find out if they have a lead pipe contaminating the drinking water in their home. It also gives policymakers more information about the scale of the threat to public health across the state. This greater transparency will help direct resources more effectively towards the replacement of all of New York’s lead pipes.
