S 2557

This bill establishes labor protections for workers at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant during its sale, transfer, lease, or decommissioning by requiring that any entity acquiring or operating the facility must pay employees no less than the prevailing wage in the locality and honor existing collective bargaining agreements. The legislation expands the definition of "electric plant" in public service law to explicitly include nuclear power reactors, bringing them under broader regulatory oversight. Additionally, the bill repeals certain recently enacted provisions from 2020 related to Indian Point's transfer and decommissioning requirements, suggesting this legislation replaces or modifies the previous regulatory framework while maintaining strong worker protections during the plant's transition.
