S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 3394 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E February 18, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Commerce, Economic Devel- opment and Small Business AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to recodifica- tion of the small business innovation research program and the awards made thereunder within the New York state foundation for science, technology and innovation; and to repeal section 3102-c of such law relating to the small business innovation research program THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The state small business innovation research (SBIR) program, which began in 1984, was designed to provide assistance to New York's newer high technology companies, helping them compete for a greater share of the federal research contracts under the federal SBIR program. The state program was highly successful, increas- ing the amount of federal SBIR dollars coming into the state from under five million dollars annually to over thirty million dollars by 1991. As importantly, state assistance under this program greatly increased the ability of federal SBIR Phase I award winners to compete for much larger SBIR Phase II awards. Although the state SBIR statute remains in effect, the state stopped funding the program after its initial success, in part because of disagreement over how to allocate limited funds among the rapidly increasing number of federal SBIR award winners. Consequently, the number of state winners dramatically decreased. This act recodifies the small business innovation research program within the public author- ities law under the auspices of the foundation for science, technology and innovation, and clarifies how funds will be allocated so that the program can begin anew to assist small high technology companies to compete for federal SBIR funds, which will help them grow and provide new jobs for New York citizens. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD06348-01-1
