S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1133 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 26, 2009 ___________ Introduced by Sens. PERKINS, DUANE, C. JOHNSON, ONORATO, STAVISKY, THOMPSON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health AN ACT creating the New York Stem Cell Research Institute THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act may be cited as the "New York Stem Cell Research Institute act". S 2. Legislative intent. Millions of children and adults suffer from devastating diseases or injuries that are currently incurable, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord inju- ries, blindness, Lou Gehrig's disease, HIV/AIDS, mental health disor- ders, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and more than seventy other diseases and injuries. Recently, medical science has discovered a new way to attack chronic diseases and injuries. The cure and treatment of these diseases can potentially be accomplished through the use of new regenerative medical therapies including a special type of human cells, called stem cells. These life-saving medical breakthroughs can only happen if adequate funding is made available to advance stem cell research, develop thera- pies, and conduct clinical trials. Unfortunately, the federal government is not providing the adequate funding necessary for the urgent research and facilities needed to develop stem cell therapies to treat and cure diseases and serious inju- ries. This critical funding gap currently prevents the rapid advancement of research that could benefit millions of New Yorkers. S 3. New York Stem Cell Research Institute. a. There is hereby created an institute to be known as the New York Stem Cell Research Institute, which shall have the following purposes: (1) To make grants and loans for stem cell research, for research facilities, and for other vital research opportunities to realize thera- pies, protocols, and/or medical procedures that will result in, as speedily as possible, the cure for, and/or substantial mitigation of, major diseases, injuries, and orphan diseases.
