BILL NUMBER:S1642

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the financing
and construction of certain facilities for the St. Andrew's Foundation,
the Scottish Society of Hudson's Valley, Ltd.

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To enable the St. Andrew's Foundation, the Scottish Society of
Hudson's Valley, Ltd., to obtain funding and enter into contracts
through the dormitory authority for the acquisition, financing,
refinancing, design construction, improvement, renovation, equipping,
furnishing or otherwise providing for facilities within the Hudson
Valley.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 1676 of the
public authorities law by adding a new undesignated subparagraph
including the St. Andrew's Foundation, the Scottish Society of
Hudson's Valley, Ltd., in the list of entities deemed to be a
"dormitory".

Section 2 amends subdivision 1 of section 1680 of the public
authorities law by adding a new undesignated paragraph including the
St. Andrew's Foundation, the Scottish Society of Hudson's Valley,
Ltd., in the list of entities deemed to be an "educational
institution".

Section 3 provides that any contracts entered into by the dormitory
authority pursuant to this act shall be deemed state contracts.

Section 4 provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
St. Andrew's Foundation, the Scottish Society of Hudson's Valley,
Ltd., is a not-for-profit charitable organization formed to promote
an appreciation of Scottish history, heritage and traditions,
including Scottish influence on the settlement and evolution of
America. The organization is creating a permanent venue for one of
the earliest Scottish Games in the United States, the Capital
District Games, and is in the process of creating a National Scottish
Cultural Center, Scottish Cultural Museum, National School of Piping
and Dance, and Highland Games Fields in the Town of Bethlehem, Albany
County. Inclusion within the funding apparatus of the Dormitory
Authority will significantly enhance the organization's ability to
achieve its goals, and will enrich the cultural landscape of the
Hudson Valley.
