All-Electric Building Act
Starting December 31, 2025, electrification mandates for new residential buildings up to seven stories will take effect, which bans the use of all fossil fuel-burning equipment like gas fireplaces, gas stoves, and even the use of propane. This mandate impacts builders and developers statewide, affecting thousands of new homes across ongoing and upcoming projects.

Statewide Survey on the All-Electric Building Act
​
The New York State Builders Association (NYSBA), with support from the NYSBA Research and Education Foundation (REF), recently commissioned a statewide survey on public awareness and perceptions of the All-Electric Building Act. Conducted by Research & Marketing Strategies, Inc. (RMS), the study highlights important findings on how New Yorkers view this law, its costs, and its potential impact on homebuilding and housing affordability.

To make this research as accessible as possible, we are providing three versions of the report:
DOJ Files Amicus Brief Supporting Legal Challenge to NY’s Ban

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed an amicus brief in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the plaintiffs in the New York City case challenging local electrification mandates.

Earlier this year, the New York State Builders Association (NYSBA), in partnership with our coalition allies, urged the DOJ to take action in alignment with the White House Executive Order titled “Protecting American Energy from State Overreach.” Read the full letter »
