TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend part D of chapter 58 of the laws of 2011 amending the
education law relating to capital facilities in support of the state
university and community colleges, procurement and the state university
health care facilities, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
 
PURPOSE:
To extend SUNY's existing procurement and capital facilities flexibility
provisions through June 30, 2031.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends section 4 of subpart A of part D of chapter
58 of the laws of 2011 to extend provisions relating to capital facili-
ties in support of the state university and community colleges from June
30, 2026, to June 30, 2031.
Section 2 of the bill amends section 4 of subpart B of part D of chapter
58 of the laws of 2011 to extend provisions relating to procurement in
support of the state and city universities from June 30, 2026, to June

JUSTIFICATION:
SUNY currently operates under procurement and capital flexibility
provisions that allow the university system to complete projects and
procure goods and services in a more efficient and timely manner. These
provisions support the continued operation, maintenance, and improvement
of SUNY campuses, community colleges, and state university health care
facilities throughout New York State.
The current statutory authorization is scheduled to expire on June 30,
2026. Without an extension, SUNY could face delays and additional admin-
istrative burdens related to procurement and capital project delivery.
Extending these provisions through June 30, 2031, will help ensure
continuity in SUNY operations and allow campuses to continue addressing
infrastructure, procurement, and health care facility needs efficiently.
SUNY supports the extension of these provisions. This legislation main-
tains existing authority already granted under current law and ensures
SUNY may continue utilizing these procurement and operational flexibili-
ties without interruption.
