                                BILL NUMBER:A9751

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the education law, in relation to
establishing the strategic partnership for industrial resurgence
program

Purpose Or General Idea Of Bill:

To codify the established strategic partnership for industrial
resurgence program in the state university of new york for the
purposes of strengthening the state's small and mid-sized businesses
by helping them address engineering problems and processes to improve
industrial competitiveness and to provide new york companies with
technical assistance on research projects and in the application for
federal and other funding for which they are eligible.

Summary Of Specific Provisions:

The chancellor would allocate available funds to the engineering
schools of the state university of new york to provide technical
assistance to small and medium sized technology companies in new york.
Projects must have well-defined deliverables and timeframes and would
include only those that support the goals of student education and
professional development as determined by the dean of the engineering
or an equivalent faculty member at each engineering school. Any new
york state technology-based or technology-dependent company in the

manufacturing, product development, information technology or service
sector with fewer than two hundred and fifty employees is eligible for
assistance from the program and companies must provide at least a 50%
match. Allowable expenses include the compensation and tuition
assistance of graduate and undergraduate students directly working on
the project as well as student travel directly related to the project.
The program may also include technical assistance to companies
developing proposals for federal grants.

Effects Of Present Law Which This Bill Would Alter:

Adds a new section to the education law.

Justification:

The Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence(SPIR) program was
established on July 1, 1994, by the State of New York to utilize the
extensive engineering resources of the SUNY system to help industry in
the State compete more effectively. SPIR fills a critical gap in
existing State industrial assistance programs by providing technically
advanced multidisciplinary assistance on a fast turnaround basis,. The
intent is to help companies improve their market posture, retain
existing employees and create new jobs. There are no other similar
programs nationally. The SPIR program was developed to follow the
model of the ag-extension programs around the country but focusing on
engineering needs. Over the past ten years, the SPIR program has
worked with over 1,000 New York State companies on almost 5,000
individual projects. It is estimated that the program's advanced
technical assistance has led to the creation/retention of tens of
thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in increased sales.


This bill would codify the program.

Prior Legislative History:

None.

Fiscal Implications For State And Local Governments:

Subject to available funds.

Effective Date:

Immediately.
