Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a student activity fee to fund the student assembly of the state university of New York
AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory student activity fee for students enrolled at State University of New York (SUNY) colleges and institutions, requiring each student to pay at least one dollar per semester. The fee will be entirely controlled by the student assembly of the state university, with no other institution or entity allowed to receive any portion of these funds. The student assembly will have sole discretion over how the revenue is utilized, and the fee will be automatically assessed and collected concurrent with standard college billing schedules. Colleges and institutions must transfer the collected fees to the student assembly within thirty days of collection. By providing dedicated funding, the bill aims to support student governance and activities across the SUNY system, giving students more direct control over resources that impact their campus experience. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
