AN  ACT  to amend the public buildings law, in relation to the authority
  of the commissioner of general services to  lease public buildings

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

  Section 1. Subdivision 12 of section 3 of the public buildings law, as
amended  by  section  47 of part T of chapter 57 of the laws of 2007, is
amended to read as follows:
  12. Lease from time to time buildings, rooms or premises in the county
of Albany, and elsewhere as required, for providing  space  for  depart-
ments,  commissions,  boards  and officers of the state government, upon
such terms and conditions as he or she deems most  advantageous  to  the
state.  Any  such  lease shall, however, be for a term not exceeding ten
years, except that, the commissioner of general services may enter  into
leases  for  a term not exceeding fifteen years when, in the judgment of
such commissioner, such longer term is in  the  best  interests  of  the
state.  Any  such lease may provide for optional renewals on the part of
the state, for terms of ten years or less. Each such lease shall contain
a clause stating that the contract of  the  state  thereunder  shall  be
deemed  executory  only  to  the extent of moneys available therefor and
that no liability shall be incurred by the state beyond the money avail-
able for such purpose.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law,
except section sixteen hundred seventy-six of the public authorities law
relating to use of dormitory  authority  facilities  by  the  aged,  the
commissioner of general services shall have sole and exclusive authority
to  lease space for state departments, agencies, commissions, boards and
officers within the county of Albany. Any buildings, rooms or  premises,
now  or  hereafter  held  by  the commissioner of general services under
lease, may be sublet, in part or in whole, provided that in the judgment
of such commissioner, and the occupying department,  commission,  board,
and  officers of the state government, such buildings, rooms or premises
are not for a time needed. EACH SUCH  LEASE  WITH  A  LIMITED  LIABILITY
COMPANY  SHALL IDENTIFY THE NAMES AND RESIDENCE ADDRESSES OF ALL NATURAL

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