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

  Section 1. There is hereby established a suspension of the issuance of

  S  2.  1. A school of public health within the state university of New

hydraulic fracturing. For  the  purposes  of  this  act,  health  impact
assessment shall mean a combination of procedures, methods, and tools by
