Big-city pause on liquefied gas safety certificates

The law pauses new environmental safety certificates in New York cities with 1,000,000 or more people. It covers siting liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas facilities and certifying transportation routes. It takes effect immediately and lasts through April 1, 2027. Developers and shippers cannot get these certificates in those cities during this time. Residents may see fewer new facilities and lower short-term safety risks.
