Bill > A09034

This bill modifies state finance law to establish two key provisions related to State University of New York (SUNY) programs. First, it requires that state-sponsored SUNY programs be reimbursed at a minimum of 26% of their direct costs, covering expenses not otherwise allowable as direct charges. Second, the bill allows state agencies to award sole source contracts directly to the Research Foundation of SUNY when the agency determines that having SUNY operate a sponsored program would create administrative efficiencies, cost savings, or produce better program results compared to a traditional request for proposals process. This legislation aims to provide more financial flexibility and streamline funding mechanisms for state-sponsored SUNY programs. The bill will take effect immediately and apply to contracts awarded from its effective date onward, potentially giving state agencies more discretion in how they fund and contract with SUNY for various sponsored programs.
