"A proposed #NewYorkState #law aimed at reducing #lightpollution could create a real problem for the state’s millions of #Jews, particularly on #Shabbos and #YomTov.

The “#DarkSkiesProtectionAct,” introduced in the State Senate by #Senator #BradHoylmanSigal, would require most outdoor lights across #NewYork to shut off between 11 pm and sunrise starting January 1, 2028.

The #legislation covers residential floodlights, building uplighting, commercial spotlights, and billboards, with the goal of preserving dark skies while “promoting safety for people, birds and other wildlife, conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint.”
