NY A08011

Establishes the "State Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act" as a new article in New York's environmental conservation law to guide state infrastructure funding decisions.

Requires state infrastructure agencies (including DOT, Department of Education, Housing Finance Agency, Port Authority, and others) to ensure projects meet smart growth criteria "to the extent practicable" before approving or financing them.

Defines ten smart growth criteria including prioritizing existing infrastructure maintenance, projects in municipal centers, brownfield redevelopment, mixed-use development, public transportation options, and sustainability measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Mandates the chief executive officer of each state infrastructure agency to issue a written "smart growth impact statement" attesting compliance with relevant criteria, or provide a detailed justification if criteria cannot be met.

Requires each state infrastructure agency to establish a smart growth advisory committee to evaluate agency policies and projects for compliance, with input from affected communities and organizations.

Prohibits private citizens or entities from bringing legal action against the state or agencies based on this act.

Takes effect thirty days after enactment but does not apply to infrastructure projects already undertaken or approved before the law's effective date.
