2017-S1596 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1596

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the education law, in relation to
state appropriations to the state university of New York and the city
university of New York

 PURPOSE :

To include SUNY's heath care science centers in the SUNY maintenance
of effort provision.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Amends section 355 and section 6206 of the education law by adding
SUNY health science centers to clarify that these facilities are
included in the SUNY's maintenance of effort provision. It also adds
building rental and SUNY's maintenance of effort provision. It also
adds building rental and fringe benefits to items which should be
included in the Maintenance of Effort for the SUNY and CUNY systems.
This bill will make the MOE permanent and disconnect it from Tuition
Increase bill Chapter 260 of 2011.

 JUSTIFICATION :

State support for SUNY's health science centers as created more than
20 years ago to recognize that the State has a responsibility to at

least partially compensate these hospitals for their service to
indigent populations and for the role they play in providing unique
life saving services not generally offered by private hospitals.
These include burn units serving as the poison control centers and the
major trauma centers for their regions and other vital services.
Moreover, they fulfill an important academic mission in producing many
of the State's physicians and other medical professionals.

While SUNY's hospital are a major part of the State University and
play a critical role in providing essential health care service to the
State and communities they serve, the State has consistently reduced
funding to these institutions over the last decade. In 2010, State
support was reduced by almost 47 percent. These cuts have placed these
institutions in serious financial jeopardy and have threatened their
ability to carry out their health care service and academic missions.
The enactment of this legislation is necessary to clarify that the
Legislature intended for the health science centers to be part of the
State's maintenance of effort provision pursuant to the NY SUNY 2020
legislation enacted in 2011, so that at a minimum, they will receive
prior year levels of funding from the State.  While this legislation
will not solve the financial problems of these institutions, it is
desperately needed to help stop the bleeding of state disinvestment to
these critical state facilities.

This bill also clarified what is to be include in the MOE besides the
SUNY hospitals. It shall include collective bargaining costs including
salary increments, fringe benefits and other non personal services
costs such as utility costs and other inflationary expenses incurred
by the State University and the City University.

When the Governor vetoed this bill in 2015, he stated that he wanted
to discuss maintenance of effort in the context of the budget. In the
2016-17 enacted budget, maintenance of effort was allowed to expire at
the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year. The need for maintenance of effort
is vital and considering the cuts that will occur to both SUNY and
CUNY, the State must provide its share of support and show its
commitment to New York State Higher Education Systems.
