S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 233 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 5, 2017 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. BICHOTTE -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Higher Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to redefining science, technology, engineering, and math education (STEM) THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds that the state requires a comprehensive approach to science, tech- nology, engineering, and math education (STEM). Under current law, little to no incentives or programmatic funding exists to push STEM education forward. The legislature further finds it essential to bring back business and industry in STEM education programs by getting them involved for career development. Furthermore, the legislature finds it questionable whether current curriculum focuses on the adequate areas to provide children with the standards needed to fulfill a math or science job opportunity in the future. Therefore be it resolved that the legislature intends to mirror the federal efforts underway to promote STEM and enable New York students to compete internationally in educational fields that drive the global economy and to provide the appropriate funding for STEM programs. § 2. Section 669-e of the education law, as added by section 1 of part G of chapter 56 of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows: § 669-e. New York state science, technology, engineering and mathemat- ics incentive program. 1. Undergraduate students who are matriculated in an approved undergraduate program leading to a career in science, COMPUTER SCIENCE, technology, engineering INCLUDING DESIGN SKILLS AND PRACTICE or mathematics at a New York state public institution of higher education shall be eligible for an award under this section, provided the applicant: (a) graduates from a high school located in New York state during or after the two thousand thirteen--fourteen school year; and (b) graduates within the top ten percent of his or her high school EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
