AN ACT to authorize the New York state urban development corporation  to
 enter into agreements to develop a Cyber Research Institute
 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

 

Section 1. Legislative Findings. The legislature finds that the  issue
 of  securing  networked  computer  systems  is of increasing importance.
 Governments at all levels, including the military,  private  businesses,
 and  individuals  have  increasingly become the targets of cyber attacks
 which range from theft  of  privileged  or  proprietary  information  to
 destructive  efforts  to  impede  or shut down systems which operate key
 elements of infrastructure, banking and business transactions, or  vital
 functions  of  government,  to  name  just a few. The increasing demands
 posed by this threat create a need for research and development  in  the
 area  of  cyber  security  in an environment which will allow pursuit of
 these studies in both an open academic setting and, also,  in  a  secure
 environment  for  classified  research.  The  United  States  Air  Force
 Research Lab at Rome, New York is presently conducting important work at
 its Information Assurance and Cyber Science Technology Laboratory. It is
 noted that several private businesses are  presently  engaged  in  cyber
 science work in close proximity to the Air Force Research Lab at Rome at
 the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, and several New York colleges
 and  universities  offer  undergraduate  and  graduate programs in cyber
 science and security. This combination of resources  uniquely  positions
 the  state of New York to become a leader in cyber security research and
 development.
 

S 2. (a) The New York state urban development corporation shall under
 take to establish, through public and private partnerships, which  shall
 include  the  Air  Force  Research  Laboratory  at  Rome, New York based

 colleges and universities, private businesses, and not-for-profit  enti
 ties,  a Cyber Research Institute to be located at the Griffiss Business
 and Technology Park in Rome, New York.  Such institute shall be an inde
 pendent not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state
 of  New  York.  It shall be governed by a board of directors which shall
 have at least eight and not more than  twelve  members,  no  fewer  than
 three-quarters of whom shall be knowledgeable in fields directly related
 to  cyber  security or have ongoing engagement and responsibility in the
 cyber security industry or in industries where cyber security is  essen
 tial  or  shall have experience in teaching, research or applied work in
 the area of cyber security in academic, business or government settings.
 (b) The New York state urban development corporation shall  work  with
 the  collaborating  businesses  and educational institutions, as well as
 the Griffiss Local Development Corporation, to ensure that a cooperative
 working relationship  is  established  between  those  institutions  and
 potential  participants of such research institute so that resources are
 made available and used in a responsible manner to support the  success
 ful  development  of the proposed research institute and the creation of
 ongoing linkages between the  training,  research,  development,  demon
 stration and technology transfer resources of the region's higher educa
 tion  institutions, private sector businesses and the activities located
 at the Griffiss Business and Technology Park.
 

S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
