New York S08917 prohibits the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority from passing on certain municipal charges to consumers.

New York S08917 amends the public authorities law to prevent the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority from including, incorporating, or passing through to consumers any charge, fee, assessment, or rental payment imposed by a municipality for the use, occupancy, or rental of municipal property, infrastructure, or rights-of-way. The bill aims to prevent these costs from being indirectly taxed to consumers, which disproportionately affects low-income households.
