Large fossil fuel companies would have to pay fees to help New York fight effects of climate change.

Lawmakers approved bill earlier this year to force big oil and gas companies to contribute to cost of repairs after extreme weather events.

Law requires companies responsible for substantial greenhouse gas emissions to pay into a state fund.

American Petroleum Institute : "This type of legislation represents nothing more than a punitive new fee on American energy".
