                                BILL NUMBER:S5217

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to five-year
capital plans for the state university of New York and the city
university of New York

PURPOSE:

To provide five year capital plans for SUNY and CUNY for the fiscal
year beginning on April 1, 2016

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one would amend section 22-c of the State Finance Law to
direct the Governor to submit a five year capital plan that meets 100
percent of the critical maintenance needs identified by each public
university system, or annually reduces the facility condition index
for each university system.

Section two would provide for an immediate effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

As part of the fiscal year 2008-2009 budget, the Legislature enacted a

five-year capital plan with annual critical maintenance appropriations
of $550 million for the State University of New York and $284.2
million for the City University of New York.  These appropriations
provided the State's public colleges and universities with the ability
to plan for capital expenditures and substantially reduce the backlog
of critical maintenance projects.  Since the conclusion of that plan
in the 2012-2013 budget cycle, the budget process has failed to
produce a similarly robust capital plan for the SUNY and CUNY systems.
As such, the academic facilities at our public colleges and
universities, as well as the three SUNY hospitals, are in danger of
not receiving the annual investment necessary for proper maintenance.

This bill would incorporate capital planning for SUNY and CUNY into
the overall capital plan submitted to the Legislature, by requiring
that the Governor submit five-year capital plans for SUNY and CUNY as
part of the Executive budget. This requirement would ensure that the
facilities at our public institutions of higher education receive the
capital funding necessary to meet their annual critical maintenance
needs or reduce the facility condition index, which measures the
current condition of facilities requiring capital investment.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None in the current year.

EFFECTIVE DATE:


Immediately

AN  ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to five-year capital
  plans for the state university of New York and the city university  of
  New York

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 22-c of the state finance law is amended by  adding
a new subdivision 7 to read as follows:
  7.  FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING ON APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
AND EVERY FIFTH FISCAL YEAR THEREAFTER, THE GOVERNOR SHALL SUBMIT TO THE
LEGISLATURE AS PART OF THE ANNUAL EXECUTIVE  BUDGET,  FIVE-YEAR  CAPITAL
PLANS  FOR  THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK STATE-OPERATED CAMPUSES AND
CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SENIOR COLLEGES.  SUCH PLANS  SHALL  PROVIDE
FOR  THE  ANNUAL  APPROPRIATION  OF  CAPITAL  FUNDS TO COVER ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT OF THE ANNUAL CRITICAL  MAINTENANCE  NEEDS  IDENTIFIED  BY  EACH
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, AND MAY INCLUDE FUNDS FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE OR OTHER
MAJOR  CAPITAL  INITIATIVES,  PROVIDED THAT SUCH FUNDING FOR NEW INFRAS-
TRUCTURE OR OTHER MAJOR CAPITAL  INITIATIVES  SHALL  NOT  COUNT  TOWARDS
MEETING THE OVERALL CRITICAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT.  IN THE EVENT THAT
SUCH  PLAN IS UNABLE TO FUND ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE CRITICAL MAINTE-
NANCE NEEDS DUE TO THE LIMITATION IMPOSED  BY  ARTICLE  FIVE-B  OF  THIS
CHAPTER,  THE  DIRECTOR  OF  THE  BUDGET SHALL DEVELOP FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL
PLANS WHEREBY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH  CAPITAL  PLAN  WOULD  ANNUALLY
REDUCE  THE  OVERALL  FACILITY CONDITION INDEX (FCI) FOR EACH UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, "FACILITY CONDITION INDEX"
SHALL MEAN AN INDUSTRY BENCHMARK THAT MEASURES  THE  RATIO  OF  DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE DOLLARS TO REPLACEMENT DOLLARS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANALYZING

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD10533-01-5

S. 5217                             2                            A. 7388

THE  EFFECT OF INVESTING IN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS.  THE APPORTIONMENT OF
CAPITAL APPROPRIATIONS TO EACH STATE-OPERATED CAMPUS OR  SENIOR  COLLEGE
SHALL  BE  BASED ON A METHODOLOGY TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE
BUDGET,  IN  CONSULTATION WITH THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AND CITY
UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
