N.Y. General City Law § 21-f: Operating assistance for certain public utility services

§ 21-f. Operating assistance for certain public utility services. Each

city having a population of one million or more shall be authorized to

make an appropriation, notwithstanding any provision of general, special

or local law to the contrary, to a public utility service operated by

such city in accordance with a local law adopted pursuant to article

fourteen-A of the general municipal law for the purpose of reducing the

rates charged for the electricity sold and billed by such public utility

service to non-residential energy users, without the billing services of

a utility, so as to enable such public utility service to reduce its

rates and charges in a proportion substantially equivalent to reductions

effected by rebates made to non-residential energy users in accordance

with a local law adopted pursuant to authorization contained in article

two-G of this chapter. Any funds so appropriated shall be used by such

public utility service to effect a reduction of rates and charges of

such public utility service in the manner hereinabove described. For

purposes of this section the terms "non-residential energy user",

"rebate" and "utility" shall have the meanings ascribed by article two-G

of this chapter.
