The goals of the Legislative Commission on Energy Systems, established in 1975, are to foster legislation which will minimize the impact of the energy crisis upon the citizens of New York State, while maintaining economic growth and a healthy environment. The Commission has in the past initiated major energy legislation such as that establishing the State Energy Office and several acts involving financing, standards, and tax-abatement for energy-saving systems. The Commission's role in the Legislature is to gather and provide information in the field of energy by means of hearings, conferences, and research; to prepare legislation dealing with energy; and to coordinate the many facets of the energy problem which are handled separately by several standing committees. The Commission has presented nine bills as priority legislation for the 1978 Session, and has cooperated in the preparation and passage of legislation for the State Energy Plan.
