Bill > S04447

This bill requires the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees to adopt a policy that prohibits using SUNY campus dormitories for housing migrant populations, either permanently or temporarily. The legislation specifically mandates that dormitories maintained and operated by state-operated SUNY campuses cannot be used to house migrants, while explicitly ensuring that this restriction does not prevent enrolled students, faculty, or staff from accessing campus housing. The bill aims to restrict the use of university housing facilities for migrant accommodation, effectively preventing SUNY campuses from being used as temporary or permanent housing sites for migrant populations. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, and it amends Section 355 of the education law by adding a new subdivision that outlines these specific housing restrictions.
