 IN ASSEMBLY

 April 27, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. HYNDMAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Higher Education

 AN ACT relating to creating the commission on affordable college educa-
 tion to study the participation of community colleges in the educa-
 tional opportunity program; and providing for the repeal of such
 provisions upon expiration thereof

 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 hereby acknowledges
 2 the need for a college education to compete in today's market. Further-
 3 more, residents throughout New York state are in need of more affordable
 4 higher education options. Currently, twelve out of the thirty SUNY
 5 community colleges do not participate in the Educational Opportunity
 6 Programs (EOP), which provide vital financial and academic support for
 7 thousands of academic and economically disadvantaged New Yorkers
 8 throughout the state. Subsequently, community college students from
 9 those twelve two-year colleges, who seek to transfer into a four-year
 10 school as Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) or EOP applicants
 11 risk potentially disqualifying themselves for such financial and academ-
 12 ic support programs.
 13 § 2. A temporary state commission, to be known as the "commission on
 14 affordable college education", is hereby established to examine, evalu-
 15 ate and make recommendations concerning the need for the twelve SUNY
 16 community colleges to participate in EOP. The commission shall consider
 17 the need for additional legislation to amend current eligibility crite-
 18 ria for transfer students.
 19 § 3. The commission shall consist of thirteen members, to be appointed
 20 as follows: three members to be appointed by the governor; three members
 21 to be appointed by the temporary president of the senate; three members
 22 to be appointed by the speaker of the assembly; two members to be
 23 appointed by the minority leader of the senate; and two members to be
 24 appointed by the minority leader of the assembly. The members shall have
 25 demonstrated expertise in and experience in the field of higher educa-
 26 tion, HEOP, or EOP. A chairperson and vice-chairperson of such commis-

 4 their services, but shall be allowed their actual and necessary expenses
 5 incurred in the performance of their duties hereunder.
 6 § 5. The commission may employ and at pleasure remove such personnel
 7 as it may deem necessary for the performance of its functions. Such
 8 commission may meet and hold public and/or private hearings within or
 9 without the state, and shall have all the powers of a legislative
 10 committee pursuant to the legislative law.
 11 § 6. For the accomplishment of its purposes, the commission shall be
 12 authorized and empowered to undertake any studies, inquiries, surveys or
 13 analyses it may deem relevant in cooperation with or by agreement with
 14 any other public or private agency.
 15 § 7. The commission shall make a report of its findings, including any
