Courts Continue Narrow Interpretation of ‘Green Amendment’
Hodgson Russ partner Tom Berkman was a recent guest on The Capitol Pressroom, where he discussed how New York courts are interpreting the state’s constitutional “Green Amendment.” The conversation explored the courts’ generally narrow application of the amendment to date and what recent decisions indicate for future environmental claims. It also addressed the practical implications for regulators, developers, and project sponsors navigating environmental review and compliance across the state.
