N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1065: Control by other boards or commissions

§ 1065. Control by other boards or commissions. No certificate of

convenience and necessity, license, consent or other authorization shall

be required to be obtained by the authority or by a water-works

corporation from any board, commission or other agency of the state in

order that the authority may acquire, lease, own and operate, maintain,

improve, extend or enlarge any property or properties referred to in

this title, or that any water-works corporation may sell, transfer, or

lease its franchise, works or system, or any part thereof to the

authority, except that nothing in this section contained shall be

construed to deprive the state water power and control commission of any

jurisdiction which that commission may now or hereafter have pursuant to

the provisions of the conservation law (constituting chapter sixty-five

of the consolidated laws), or of any jurisdiction which the state

commissioner of health may now or hereafter have pursuant to the

provisions of article five of the public health law (constituting

chapter forty-five of the consolidated laws). Neither the state public

service commission nor any other board or commission of like character

shall, unless expressly authorized hereafter, have jurisdiction over the

authority in the management and control of its properties or operations

or any power over the regulation of the rates fixed or charges collected

by the authority.
