 AN ACT relating to authorizing the state university of New York at Stony

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the  state
 university  of  New  York  at  Stony  Brook ("Stony Brook") seeks to use
 approximately 10 acres of underutilized land on Stony Brook's  Southamp-
 ton  campus  to  build multi-purpose facilities to support housing needs
 and supporting  amenities,  fulfilling  a  necessary  and  vital  public
 purpose.    The  legislature further finds that granting the trustees of
 the State University of New York ("Trustees") the authority and power to
 lease and otherwise contract to make available grounds and facilities of
 Stony Brook's campus will ensure such land is utilized for  the  benefit
 of Stony Brook, the surrounding community, and the general public.
   §  2.  Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the trustees are
 authorized and empowered, without  any  public  bidding,  to  lease  and
 otherwise contract to make available to a ground lessee a portion of the
 lands  of Stony Brook generally described in this act for the purpose of
 developing, constructing, maintaining and operating multi-purpose facil-
 ities to support housing needs and supporting amenities. Such  lease  or
 contract  shall  be for a period not exceeding ninety-nine years without
 any fee simple conveyance and otherwise upon terms and conditions deter-
 mined by such trustees, subject to the approval of the director  of  the
 division  of the budget, the attorney general and the state comptroller.
 In the event that the real property that is the subject of such lease or
 contract shall cease to be used for the purpose described in  this  act,
 such lease or contract shall immediately terminate and the real property
 and any improvements thereon shall revert to the state university of New
 York.  Any  lease  or  contract  entered into pursuant to this act shall
 provide that the real property that is the  subject  of  such  lease  or
 contract  and any improvements thereon shall revert to the state univer-
