LAVALLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Commerce, Economic Devel- opment and Small Business AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to creating the New York state center for the expansion of nanoscale science and engi- neering 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 declaration. The legislature hereby recognizes that the continued growth and development of the nanotechnology industry is of vital importance to the economic well-being of the state and its citizens. The State University of New York's (SUNY) Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Polytechnic) is an innovative global education, research, development and technology deployment resource that has attracted more than $43 billion in high-tech invest- ments. Its location enables it to play a significant role in the revi- talization of upstate New York. The legislature also finds that strengthening the governance of this innovative hub would further serve the economic interest of the upstate New York region and the state as a whole. Currently SUNY Polytechnic, including its research and development initiatives, are overseen by the 17-member SUNY Board of Trustees and a council of 10 members. SUNY Poly- technic, however, is unlike any other state-operated institution because of its niche focus on high technology education and commercialization. Therefore, the legislature finds that SUNY Polytechnic would benefit from the establishment of a quasi-governmental entity that would utilize its flexible structure to focus on fostering the growth of nanotechnolo- gy research and development. § 2. Article 10-A of the public authorities law is amended by adding a new title 3 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
