 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  All  New  York  state sponsored programs conducted by the

 necessary  to fulfill the obligations of such program's terms related to
 costs not otherwise allowable as a direct charge.

 RY, FOR THE PURPOSES OF A  CONTRACT  FOR  A  NEW  YORK  STATE  SPONSORED

 STATE AGENCY, A STATE AGENCY MAY AWARD A SOLE  SOURCE  CONTRACT  TO  THE
 RESEARCH  FOUNDATION  OF  THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, ON BEHALF OF
 THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WHEN THE STATE AGENCY DETERMINES  THAT  OPERATION
 OF  SUCH  SPONSORED  PROGRAM  BY  THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK WOULD
 PRODUCE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCIES OR COST SAVINGS OR  PROGRAM  RESULTS
 WHICH  WOULD  EXCEED  THOSE  LIKELY  TO BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE USE OF A

 contracts awarded on or after such effective date.
