S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 361 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E (PREFILED) January 5, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. ROBACH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing a high- tech employment and training program within the New York state founda- tion for science, technology and innovation THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration. The legislature here- by finds and declares that an appropriately skilled workforce is neces- sary to ensure the creation and growth of high technology businesses in New York. The introduction of new technologies in business and industry is an ongoing, dynamic process which necessitates a system of training and education that is responsive to constantly changing skill require- ments. Further, the legislature finds that technology has also changed the manner in which training and education can be provided within a firm. While the use of sophisticated computer based training is not new, the cost of development of such applications results in limited access. Using technology to create a more effective and cost efficient delivery system for training and education services for firms in the state is critical to foster the young, developing high-tech sector in the state of New York. S 2. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 209-u to read as follows: S 209-U. HIGH-TECH EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM. 1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION: (A) "OFFICE" SHALL MEAN THE NEW YORK STATE FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD01919-01-1
