AN ACT to amend the arts  and  cultural  affairs  law,  in  relation  to
  providing  educational  services  aid  to eligible museums, historical
  societies and other cultural institutions for the provision of  curri-
  culum-based  educational  programs for students and teachers in grades
  pre-kindergarten through twelve  and  adults  enrolled  in  continuing
  education programs

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

  Section 1. Statement of legislative findings and intent. The  legisla-
ture  finds  and  declares  that  the state of New York has the greatest
museums, historical societies, zoos, botanical  gardens,  aquariums  and
cultural  arts  institutions in the United States, and that these organ-
izations are major tourism and economic drivers with a wealth of ways to
engage children and adults and instill in them a lasting love of  learn-
ing.
  The legislature finds and declares that museums, historical societies,
zoos,  botanical  gardens,  aquariums  and  cultural  arts  institutions
attract millions of visitors each year  and  provide  vitally  important
instructional  services  to  the  schoolchildren of this state, and that
children, in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve and adults  enrolled
in  continuing  education programs should have broad and equal access to
such services.
  The legislature finds that over 1,300 museums,  historical  societies,
zoos,  botanical  gardens,  aquariums  and cultural arts institutions in
this state now provide instruction to over  six  million  children,  and
that these institutions now receive no direct state support to initiate,
expand  and  enhance these educational services through access to museum
collections, scholarship and virtual learning.

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