Bill > A07427

This bill prohibits the State University of New York (SUNY) from outsourcing or privatizing services currently performed by unclassified service employees at the SUNY Albany campus, specifically preventing SUNY or its affiliated entities from contracting these services to the ground lessee, any subsidiary of the ground lessee, or the SUNY Research Foundation. The bill ensures that all functions and services currently performed by unclassified service employees will continue to be performed by those same employees, effectively protecting their job security. Additionally, the legislation explicitly states that any lease of property to private entities for facility development or operation cannot waive or impair the employees' existing rights or benefits as outlined in their collective bargaining agreements. The bill affirms SUNY and the state of New York's commitment to not exercise any contractual rights to outsource services, and it is designed to maintain the current workforce at the Albany NanoTech Complex. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
