        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  twenty-
     4  one and every fifth fiscal year thereafter, the governor shall submit to
     5  the  legislature as part of the annual executive budget, five-year capi-
     6  tal plans for the state university of New York  state-operated  campuses
     7  and  city  university  of  New  York senior colleges.   Such plans shall
     8  provide for the annual appropriation  of  capital  funds  to  cover  one
     9  hundred  percent  of the annual critical maintenance needs identified by
    10  each university system, and may include funds for new infrastructure  or
    11  other  major  capital  initiatives,  provided  that such funding for new
    12  infrastructure or  other  major  capital  initiatives  shall  not  count
    13  towards  meeting  the  overall critical maintenance requirement.  In the
    14  event that such plan is unable to fund one hundred percent of the  crit-
    15  ical  maintenance  needs due to the limitation imposed by article five-B
    16  of this chapter, the director of  the  budget  shall  develop  five-year
    17  capital  plans  whereby  the  implementation  of each capital plan would
    18  annually reduce the overall facility  condition  index  (FCI)  for  each
    19  university  system.  For  the  purposes  of  this subdivision, "facility
    20  condition index" shall mean an  industry  benchmark  that  measures  the
    21  ratio  of  deferred  maintenance  dollars to replacement dollars for the

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD05692-02-0
        S. 3548--A                          2

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