Moira board adopts resolution opposing state natural-gas bans, backs federal Energy Choice Act
Summary
The Town Board unanimously adopted Resolution #155-2025 opposing New York’s natural-gas hookup bans and expressing support for the Energy Choice Act (H.R. 3699 / S. 1945); copies are to be sent to federal and state elected officials.
The Town of Moira board unanimously adopted Resolution #155-2025 expressing formal opposition to New York State policies that the resolution characterizes as banning natural-gas hookups for many new buildings. The resolution cites the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and recent state budget provisions as the foundation for the local objection and endorses the Energy Choice Act (H.R. 3699 / S. 1945) as federal legislation to protect consumer choice.
Councilman Adam Deuyour moved the resolution and Councilman Timothy Trimm seconded the motion; the minutes record the resolution language including statements that the board believes such state policies will "increase costs, strain grid reliability, and restrict energy diversity." The board directed that copies of the resolution be sent to Congressman Nick Langworthy, Senator Jim Justice, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Governor Kathy Hochul, and New York State legislative leadership.
The resolution is a policy statement of the Town Board rather than a legislative change; it instructs the supervisor to distribute copies to listed officials. The transcript shows the board adopted Resolution #155-2025 unanimously.
