MINOR

The bill was amended to expand its applicability from a limited list of specific institutions to all public buildings owned or leased by the state of New York. Additionally, the bill's procedural status was updated to reflect that it has been reported to the Committee on Ways and Means and is now being re-examined.

Scope change

The scope of the bill was significantly broadened. It now applies to all state-owned or leased public buildings under the Commissioner of General Services, rather than being restricted to SUNY, CUNY, and school district buildings.

SCOPE

The definition of 'covered public building' was changed to include any state-owned or leased building open to the public, removing the previous limitation to only university and school district buildings.

PROCEDURAL

The bill text was updated to show it has been reported to the Committee on Ways and Means and is being re-examined after committee discharge.
