SENATOR DOLLINGER:Explanation, please, Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Marcellino, Senator Dollinger has requested an explanation.
SENATOR MARCELLINO:Thank you, Madam President. It will be a pleasure to give the Senator an explanation of this particular bill.
MTBE was originally added to gasoline to protect our air quality. The petroleum industry, at the request of the EPA, added this substance to gasoline as it moved to comply with the federal requirements to have at least 2 percent oxygen in gasoline in areas where major air pollution problems exist -- that is, the downstate areas of this state.
While the original intent was laudable, the air benefits were not as great as expected. And those limited benefits have come at a cost to our water quality. We have subsequently found out, Madam President, that MTBE has an affinity for water greater than gasoline would normally.
Neither substance is a good thing. Gasoline is a nasty thing. When it enters our environment, it does nasty things to the environment. MTBE apparently, in concert with gasoline, moves it quicker through the ground, and it moves towards water sources, particularly wells, drinking water wells, where it has been detected in these wells on Long Island and in other places throughout the state.
Other states, including California, have banned the use of the particular additive MTBE. We've not banned the use of an oxygenate. We are taking out a particular substance.
The federal legislation requires oxygenates and does mention MTBE specifically. We would suggest to them, seek an alternative substance -- ethanol, for example, which is used in the Midwest -- that does not have the same impact on our water supply and is used out West.
So we're in concert with the Assembly in allowing the gasoline sellers to retool and refit and produce enough ethanol to get it into the system to substitute, should that be their desire, or to substitute another additive, should that be their desire.
It is my understanding that the Clinton administration has agreed that the EPA, through Carol Browner, the director of the EPA, will be also amending this legislation on a voluntary basis. However, we don't know when that will occur.
And we feel it is imperative that New York State not be left behind and that we establish ourselves firmly on the record that we think this substance is a hazard to water, it's a hazard to our health and should be removed as a problem in our gasoline.
By the way, it does account for about 15 percent of every gallon of gasoline.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Dollinger.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:Madam President, will the sponsor yield to a couple of questions, please?
THE PRESIDENT:Does the sponsor yield?
SENATOR MARCELLINO:Sure. Absolutely.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:Thank you, Madam President.
Senator Marcellino, is there a definition of the phrase "gasoline" in some other portion of the Agriculture and Markets Law other than the section that you're amending, 192G -
SENATOR MARCELLINO:I don't know, Senator.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:-- do you know?
SENATOR MARCELLINO:I really don't know.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:Okay. My question, if Senator Marcellino will continue to yield, Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator -
SENATOR MARCELLINO:Yes.
THE PRESIDENT:Go ahead, Senator Dollinger.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:The reason for my question is my understanding is that the MTBE is also included in motor oil, in addition to gasoline. And that one of the problems with MTBE is that it -- in two-stroke engines, in which you use a combination of oil and gasoline in the same mixture, that the MTBE problem is in the motor oil as much as it's in the gasoline.
Therefore, my question is, Senator Marcellino, if we're simply saying that MTBE can't be used in gasoline, is that enough to get at the problem? Or do we need to broaden it to include motor oil itself?
SENATOR MARCELLINO:I'm being advised by counsel that we believe our bill does deal with the two-stroke engine problem, because that would both take oil and gasoline and admit both at the same time into your water problem.
To be more specific, though, I think we'd have to look in more detail to see if in fact MTBE is included as an additive in motor oil. I do not know the answer to that question at this point in time. It's a good question. And we'll look at it.
We do believe, however, that probably 95 percent, if not 99 percent, of the problem's cause will come from gasoline spills in particular.
And that's why organizations like the Long Island Water Conference are with us, because they are the people who manage the water districts and work with the water, the drinking waters of our constituents. They have expressed extreme concern with this additive, because it gets near their wells. And when it does, they have to shut them down.
This is not a good thing for us, obviously, and it wouldn't be a good thing for anybody. So we're very concerned that we move ahead with this issue. However, you raise a point. We will check to see if in fact motor oil is a problem.
SENATOR DOLLINGER:Thank you, Madam President. Just briefly on the bill.
And I appreciate Senator Marcellino's candor in dealing with the question of motor oil, because the bill as it's currently drafted talks about gasoline as being the source of the MTBE problem.
And it's my understanding that there's emerging evidence that the motor oil itself may have an impact, especially in the two-stroke, the two-cycle engines, which are most prominently featured in jet skis, but also used in smaller engines that are associated with pleasure craft in New York State.
I'm going to vote in favor of this bill. This is clearly the right thing to do. I just want to make sure that we include motor oil within the definition of gasoline, to be absolutely assured that we're not selling products or authorizing the sale of products that feature MTBE as an oxygen-adding agent into two-stroke engines -- so that while we may ban it in gasoline, we don't ban it in motor oil as well, which may also be part of the problem.
But I think this is a two-stroke engine problem, a two-cycle engine problem, because the internal combustion is not as pronounced as in the four-stroke engines.
And I would just suggest that this is a good bill. I think this goes well down the road. I would simply suggest that we make sure we close all the loose ends with respect to MTBEs. We don't need them anywhere in our water supply in New York State.
Thank you, Madam President.
SENATOR MARCELLINO:Madam President, just to close, there's a Section B on the reverse side of the bill, in -- on line -- starting on line 3 on page 2 of the bill, it talks about "no provision of this subdivision shall be deemed to authorize the use of MTBE as an oxygenate in any motor fuel imported into or sold or offered for sale in this state," which we feel would take that into consideration.
And counsel has just checked. We don't believe that MTBE is an additive to motor oil at all. However, we'll check even further, we'll continue to double-check that. But we don't believe it's part of that situation, so it would not be a problem of concern. But we'll look at it anyway just to be sure.

Senator Skelos, that completes the reading of the controversial calendar.
SENATOR SKELOS:Madam President, is there any housekeeping at the desk?
THE PRESIDENT:No, there isn't, Senator.
SENATOR SKELOS:Would you please go to motions to discharge.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Schneiderman.
SENATOR SCHNEIDERMAN:Thank you, Madam President. I believe I have a motion at the desk. I would request that it be called up at this time.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will read.
THE SECRETARY:Senate Bill Number 2738A, by Senator Schneiderman, an act to amend the Labor Law, in relation to increasing the minimum wage.
SENATOR SCHNEIDERMAN:Thank you, Madam President, if I may speak on the motion.
This is a very straightforward piece of legislation. I think many people are aware that the last ten years has seen the greatest economic boom in the history of the United States. What many people don't realize is that in New York State, eight out of 10 people have seen their real incomes decline. Eight out of 10. That's according to statistics that were released in the last two months.
This is an astonishing result. We are now the state with the most inequitable distribution of wealth in the country.
This legislation is an extremely modest step towards redressing this problem. It would raise the minimum wage to $6.75 per hour and index it so that it can be raised as the Consumer Price Index changes in the future.
It's really unbelievable that in this time where the rich are getting so rich, that those who work for minimum wage, supporting families, are at a poverty level under the current law. I'd urge that we bring this bill to the floor and that we pass it. It's the least we can do and it is, as I say, really a very small first step towards addressing the monumental issue of economic inequity and injustice in our state.
Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT:All those in favor of accepting the motion to discharge signify by saying aye.
SENATOR PATERSON:Party vote in the affirmative.
SENATOR SKELOS:Party vote in the negative.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will call the roll.
(The Secretary called the roll.)
THE SECRETARY:Ayes, 24. Nays, 34. Party vote.
THE PRESIDENT:The motion is defeated.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Oppenheimer.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:I believe I have a motion at the desk, and I'd like to waive its reading, if I may, and explain it.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will read.
THE SECRETARY:Senate Bill Number 6859, by Senator Oppenheimer, an act to amend the Environmental Conservation Law and the Public Health Law, in relation to environmental facility.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Oppenheimer.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:Thank you.
I think this is a bill that probably everybody could easily support. And to make a personal reference, there are a few of us here in the Senate that have survived cancer, and I think for those of us I think it is a very meaningful bill.
This concerns the mapping of environmental facilities with the cancer-incidence information that we have. It would direct DEC to plot on computer-generated maps environmental facilities and sites and then match that with the incidence of cancer, with that information which is now available through the Department of Health. And this data would be plotted on -- by census blocs.
Right now, as you all know, we do have -- we're trying to find out more information about cancer clusters and how these clusters relate to certain environmental facilities such as industrial facilities, power plants, contamination of sites like Superfund sites, abandoned industrial sites, landfills, brownfields.
And what we have done is we've done the work with pesticides, so that we now know where the incidence of cancer relates to pesticides. But we feel that it is just as valid, if not more valid, to find out where the incidence of cancer is vis-a-vis the actual facilities that might be causing cancer.
And this bill would require every doctor, dentist, and other health-care provider to report every cancer case to the Department of Health, including the genetic history, the occupational history, the age, residency history, and other risk factors.
Currently DOH does list these incidences, but they list it by counties. Now, if we're going to try and get more definitive information, we need to list it more by zip code, get it much more defined so that we will be able to map cancer clusters.
So that's the bill, and I would move it. And afterwards I'd like to say a few words about Earth Day.
THE PRESIDENT:All in favor of accepting the motion to discharge signify by saying aye.
SENATOR PATERSON:Party vote in the affirmative.
SENATOR SKELOS:Party vote in the negative.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will call the roll.
(The Secretary called the roll.)
THE SECRETARY:Ayes, 25. Nays, 34. Party vote.
THE PRESIDENT:The motion is defeated.
Senator Oppenheimer.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:I just want to take a moment to take note of Earth Day, and to thank dear Gaylord Nelson for giving us -
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Oppenheimer, could we delay this until after Senator Duane's motion, please?
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:Of course we can.
THE PRESIDENT:Thank you.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:Sure.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Duane.
SENATOR DUANE:Thank you, Madam President.
I believe there's a motion at the desk.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will read.
THE SECRETARY:Senate Bill Number 7024, by Senator Duane, an act to amend the Insurance Law, in relation to health insurance coverage for the treatment of mental, nervous, and emotional disorders and ailments.
SENATOR DUANE:Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to waive the reading and just be heard on the motion.
Thank you very much. During my short tenure here in the State Senate, I think it would come as no surprise to people if I said one of my goals has been to protect all of our state's citizens. Particularly in a state as diverse as New York, I think that it's vital that we look at everyone's needs and try to help them.
My bill does that. It provides health insurance policies and health maintenance organizations -- it makes sure that they treat patients with mental illnesses the same as patients with physical ailments are treated. And so, in fact, it's a mental health parity bill.
The bill would require that all group or blanket accident or health insurance policies provide mental health coverage for inpatient care. If they're already doing that now, they must provide it under the same guidelines as it sets for other illnesses.
And outpatients may not be restricted to a certain number of visits. In fact, that's one of the more absurd ways that we treat mental health in this state, that we believe we know exactly how long it takes to treat a mental illness.
This bill does not provide greater coverage for mental illnesses, it provides for equal treatment. For too long, mental health and mental illness and people who are seeking treatment for mental illness have had to live with stigmatization. And even today, people are afraid to seek treatment for fear that that will forever label them as being somehow flawed.
That's much different than what we do when someone has been treated for a physical ailment, and when they come back to health, they're treated equally by society.
No other disease is discriminated against in the same way that mental illness is discriminated against. And we absolutely have to stop that.
Long-term parity for mental health will save the state money, it will make for a better quality of life for its citizens. And in fact, that's been recognized already by 21 states around the nation. And it's a shame that New York State is not going to -- without the passage of this legislation, will fall into those states, in sort of the latter half of the 50 states that don't recognize the importance of parity for mental health.
So the time to rectify this unfairness is now. Let's make New York State Number 22 and adopt a law that will provide for mental health insurance parity.
Thank you, Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:All in favor of accepting the motion to discharge signify by saying aye.
SENATOR PATERSON:Party vote in the affirmative.
SENATOR SKELOS:Party vote in the negative.
THE PRESIDENT:The Secretary will call the roll.
(The Secretary called the roll.)
THE SECRETARY:Ayes, 25. Nays, 34. Party vote.
THE PRESIDENT:The motion is defeated.
Senator Oppenheimer.
SENATOR OPPENHEIMER:Thank you, Madam President.
Well, we did have a resolution on the calendar last week concerning Earth Day, and it was open to anybody who wanted to cosponsor here. And we talked about a variety of things, like refinancing Superfund and energy efficiency and clean, renewable alternative power, citizens' suits, waste-hire problem -- well, no policy, a waste-hire problem. So I don't guess I'll go through that again today.
But I would like to reference something that's going to happen this week that I think is very interesting and a lot of people in hearing my voice might, if they are nearby to New York City, might be interested in attending this.
This is something that's sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, and it is going to be a two-day conference on Thursday and Friday. And it's the legacy of urban sprawl.
And it discusses, you know, the poor planning and the poor management of development that we have exhibited so far, certainly in the environs of New York City and that has led to all kinds of air and water pollution and traffic congestion and just destruction of communities, destruction of farmland, open space.
And so we will be exploring ways to integrate biodiversity conservation into our decision-making process. And I think that is something that is very important to us, particularly in suburbia, but also in upstate and farmland communities, because we are seeing sprawl just occur without any informed land-use decision-making.
And I'm going to be there. I'm going to be one of the speakers. But I think it's an interesting topic. And some of you might be interested in going to the American Museum of Natural History on Thursday and Friday, all day, both days, over by about 4:30 in the afternoon.
Thank you very much, Madam President.
THE PRESIDENT:Senator Skelos.
SENATOR SKELOS:Madam President, are there any other public service announcements to be made?
