S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6572 I N S E N A T E January 27, 2016 ___________ Introduced by Sen. DeFRANCISCO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations 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. Therefore be it resolved that the legislature creates the urban science, technology, engineering and mathematics (U-STEM) mentor volun- teer program for pupils in the large city school districts of the state. S 3. Section 210-B of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivi- sion 49 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
