BILL NUMBER:S4404B
Title of bill
An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to the reimbursement of tuition, fees and hospital charges to state university health care facilities
Purpose
This bill relates to the reimbursement of tuition, fees and hospital charges to state university health care facilities.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Amends subdivision 3 of section 91-a of the state finance law.
Section 2 - Effective date.
Justification
Currently, when SUNY hospitals are owed back tuition, fees and hospital charges they refer them to the Attorney's General's Office for collection. The Attorney General's Office may collect these funds by requesting that State Taxation and Finance garnish a payer's tax refund. In that situation, the garnished funds are placed into the State's general fund, rather than to the hospital. The collected funds are owed to State university health care facilities and therefore, it is only equitable that, they receive these funds, to which they would have otherwise been entitled, had they been paid in a timely manner.
