Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law and part H of chapter 58 of the laws of 2007 amending the public health law, the public officers law and the state finance law relating to establishing the empire state stem cell board, in relation to the continuation of the empire state stem cell board
AI Summary
This bill makes permanent the Empire State Stem Cell Board (ESSCB), a state entity within the Department of Health that administers the Empire State Stem Cell Trust Fund. The board, comprised of a funding committee and an ethics committee both chaired by the commissioner, is authorized to make grants for basic, applied, translational, and other research activities related to stem cell biology. Previously, the board was set to expire on December 31, 2025, but this bill removes that expiration date, effectively making the board a permanent institution. The legislation eliminates the previous restriction that prevented the board from making grants after April 1, 2021, and ensures that the board can continue to support stem cell research subject to annual appropriations and available funding. By making these changes, the bill provides long-term stability and continuity for stem cell research funding in New York State.
