BILL NUMBER: S7236

SPONSOR: LAVALLE
 
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, 2019.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends 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 univer-
sity system.

Section 2. Provides 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 to 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 fund-
ing necessary to meet their annual critical maintenance needs or reduce
the facility condition index which measures the current condition of
facilities requiring capital investment.

Although this bill was vetoed by the Governor in 2015 and 2017, this
measure is still of the utmost importance. Ensuring capital funding for
SUNY and CUNY is essential to their ability to continue to provide exem-
plary education for students of the State of New York.  Building infras-
tructure across SUNY and CNY campuses remains in dire need of critical
maintenance because buildings are crumbling under the students' feet.
This funding will further assist the efforts to reduce efforts to reduce
facility condition indexes.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017 S.1625 (Veto  205);
2015 S.5217/A.7388
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.   
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 NINETEEN
 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
 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.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
