        AN  ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to five-year capital
          plans for the state university of New York and the city university  of
          New York
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Section 22-c of the state finance law is amended by  adding
     2  a new subdivision 7 to read as follows:
     3    7. For the fiscal year beginning on April first, two thousand eighteen
     4  and every fifth fiscal year thereafter, the governor shall submit to the
     5  legislature  as  part  of the annual executive budget, five-year capital
     6  plans for the state university of New York state-operated  campuses  and
     7  city  university  of New York senior colleges.  Such plans shall provide
     8  for the annual appropriation of  capital  funds  to  cover  one  hundred
     9  percent  of  the  annual  critical  maintenance needs identified by each
    10  university system, and may include funds for new infrastructure or other
    11  major capital initiatives, provided that such funding  for  new  infras-
    12  tructure  or  other  major  capital  initiatives shall not count towards
    13  meeting the overall critical maintenance requirement.  In the event that
    14  such plan is unable to fund one hundred percent of the critical  mainte-
    15  nance  needs  due  to  the  limitation imposed by article five-B of this
    16  chapter, the director of the  budget  shall  develop  five-year  capital
    17  plans  whereby  the  implementation  of each capital plan would annually
    18  reduce the overall facility condition index (FCI)  for  each  university
    19  system. For the purposes of this subdivision, "facility condition index"
    20  shall  mean  an  industry  benchmark that measures the ratio of deferred
    21  maintenance dollars to replacement dollars for the purposes of analyzing

     1  the effect of investing in facility improvements.  The apportionment  of
     2  capital  appropriations  to each state-operated campus or senior college
     3  shall be based on a methodology to be developed by the director  of  the
     4  budget,  in  consultation with the state university of New York and city
     5  university of New York.
     6    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
