 Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Schiavoni)
 -- read once and referred to the Committee on Higher Education

 AN ACT in relation to authorizing the trustees of the state university
 of New York to lease and contract to make available certain land on
 the state university of New York at Stony Brook's campus

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the state
 2 university of New York at Stony Brook ("the university") seeks to use
 3 approximately 11.5 acres of underutilized land on Stony Brook's South-
 4 ampton campus to build multi-purpose facilities to support housing needs
 5 and supporting amenities, fulfilling a necessary and vital public
 6 purpose. The legislature further finds that granting the trustees of
 7 the state university of New York ("trustees") the authority and power to
 8 lease and otherwise contract to make available grounds and facilities of
 9 Stony Brook's campus will ensure such land is utilized for the benefit
 10 of Stony Brook, the surrounding community, and the general public.
 11 § 2. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the state univer-
 12 sity trustees are authorized and empowered, without any public bidding,
 13 to lease and otherwise contract to make available to Stony Brook South-
 14 ampton Housing Development Corp., a not-for-profit (ground lessee), a
 15 portion of the lands of the university generally described in this act
 16 for the purpose of developing, constructing, maintaining and operating
 17 multi-purpose facilities to support housing needs and supporting amen-
 18 ities. Such lease or contract shall be for a period not exceeding nine-
 19 ty-nine years without any fee simple conveyance and otherwise upon terms
 20 and conditions determined by such trustees, subject to the approval of
 21 the director of the division of the budget, the attorney general and the
 22 state comptroller. In the event that the real property that is the
 23 subject of such lease or contract shall cease to be used for the purpose
 24 described in this act, such lease or contract shall immediately termi-
 25 nate and the real property and any improvements thereon shall revert to
 26 the state university of New York. Any lease or contract entered into
 27 pursuant to this act shall provide that the real property that is the

 2 revert to the state university of New York on the expiration of such
 3 contract or lease.
 4 § 3. Any contract or lease entered into pursuant to this act shall be
 5 deemed to be a state contract for purposes of article 15-A of the execu-
 6 tive law, and any contractor, subcontractor, lessee or sublessee enter-
 7 ing into such contract or lease for the construction, demolition, recon-
 8 struction, excavation, rehabilitation, repair, renovation, alteration or
 9 improvement authorized pursuant to this act shall be deemed a state
 10 agency for the purposes of article 15-A of the executive law and subject
 11 to the provisions of such article.
 12 § 4. Notwithstanding any general, special or local law or judicial
 13 decision to the contrary, all work performed on a project authorized by
 14 this act where all or any portion thereof involves a lease or agreement
 15 for construction, demolition, reconstruction, excavation, rehabili-
 16 tation, repair, renovation, alteration or improvemen
