 IN SENATE

 May 15, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. C. RYAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern-
 ment Operations

 AN ACT to amend the public buildings law and the labor law, in relation
 to prevailing wage requirements applicable to leasehold improvements
 in state leases

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 12 of section 3 of the public buildings law, as
 2 amended by section 47 of part T of chapter 57 of the laws of 2007, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 12. Lease from time to time buildings, rooms or premises in the county
 5 of Albany, and elsewhere as required, for providing space for depart-
 6 ments, commissions, boards and officers of the state government, upon
 7 such terms and conditions as [he or she] such commissioner deems most
 8 advantageous to the state. Any such lease shall, however, be for a term
 9 not exceeding ten years, except that, the commissioner of general
 10 services may enter into leases for a term not exceeding fifteen years
 11 when, in the judgment of such commissioner, such longer term is in the
 12 best interests of the state. Any such lease may provide for optional
 13 renewals on the part of the state, for terms of ten years or less. Each
 14 such lease shall contain a clause stating that the contract of the state
 15 thereunder shall be deemed executory only to the extent of moneys avail-
 16 able therefor and that no liability shall be incurred by the state
 17 beyond the money available for such purpose. Each such lease shall
 18 contain a clause requiring compliance with section two hundred twenty-
 19 four-g of the labor law. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
 20 law, except section sixteen hundred seventy-six of the public authori-
 21 ties law relating to use of dormitory authority facilities by the aged,
 22 the commissioner of general services shall have sole and exclusive
 23 authority to lease space for state departments, agencies, commissions,
 24 boards and officers within the county of Albany. Any buildings, rooms or
 25 premises, now or hereafter held by the commissioner of general services
 26 under lease, may be sublet, in part or in whole, provided that in the

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 10472 2

 1 judgment of such commissioner, and the occupying department, commission,
 2 board, and officers of the state government, such buildings, rooms or
 3 premises are not for a time needed. Notwithstanding any other provision
 4 of law to the contrary, if bonds or notes are issued pursuant to section
 5 sixteen hundred eighty-n of the public authorities law for the purpose
 6 of acquiring a building or other facility previously financed by a lease
 7 or lease-purchase obligation as authorized herein, the state agency
 8 which is the tenant in occupancy shall be authorized to remit tax
 9 payments or payments in lieu of thereof to the appropriate taxing
 10 authority in a manner consistent with the process and term established
 11 under the original lease or lease-purchase for the subject property for
 12 a period coincident with the term of the lease as established at the
 13 commencement of the term thereof. The state may undertake a certiorari
 14 review of assessments that may be imposed from time to time.
 15 § 2. Subdivision 12 of section 3 of the public buildings law,
