Introduced  by  Sen.  DeFRANCISCO -- read twice and ordered printed, and

  Government Operations

AN  ACT  to amend the tax law, in relation to creating an urban science,
  technology, engineering and math (U-STEM) mentor volunteer program for
  youth 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:

  Section 1. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as  the  "urban
science,  technology,  engineering  and  math  (U-STEM) mentor volunteer
program for youth act".
  S 2. Legislative findings and intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds
that  there is a need to develop, promote and facilitate a mentor volun-
teer program specifically designed to  foster  greater  student  partic-
ipation  for  pupils  living  in high concentrations of poverty in large
urban areas who are in grades seven to twelve in the study  of  science,
technology,  engineering  and  mathematics  herein  referred  to as STEM
programs. The legislature further finds that the STEM programmatic areas
are under-served and under-represented by pupils living  in  poverty  in
the  large urban school districts of the state due in part to the finan-
cial circumstances of the school districts  as  well  as  the  competing
programmatic requirements for high school graduation.
  Furthermore,  the  legislature finds that STEM businesses in the large
urban areas are in need of greater  numbers  of  qualified  students  to
pursue  careers in the STEM fields and that there is a state interest in
fostering a programmatic connection between these businesses  and  their
school  districts  to  mentor,  develop and train students interested in
STEM careers.
