Relates to license fees per barrel of petroleum shipped through the state for use outside the state by facilities within 1 mile of a similar facility in another state.

This bill proposes to establish a licensing fee for each barrel of petroleum that is shipped through New York State for use outside the state. It specifically targets facilities located within one mile of similar facilities in neighboring states. The goal is to regulate and potentially generate revenue from petroleum shipments that may otherwise bypass New York's regulations.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will help ensure that New York can effectively manage and benefit from petroleum shipments, especially in areas close to competing facilities in other states. They believe the licensing fees could provide necessary funding for state infrastructure and environmental initiatives, promoting responsible energy practices.

Critics of the bill contend that the new licensing fees could drive businesses away from New York, making it less competitive compared to neighboring states. They argue that this could lead to job losses and reduced economic activity in the petroleum sector, ultimately harming consumers through higher prices.
