Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to prohibiting the use of SUNY dormitories for the purposes of providing permanent or temporary housing for migrant populations

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York State education law to require the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees to adopt a policy that prohibits using SUNY campus dormitories for housing migrant populations on a permanent or temporary basis. The legislation specifically mandates that state-operated SUNY campus dormitories cannot be used to house migrants, while explicitly clarifying that this restriction does not prevent enrolled students, faculty, or staff from accessing campus housing. The bill aims to ensure that SUNY dormitories remain exclusively for the use of students, faculty, and staff, and takes effect immediately upon passage. The proposed policy would apply to all state-operated SUNY campuses and their respective dormitory facilities, effectively preventing the use of student housing for migrant population housing purposes.
