Consensus Rule Making Determination
The proposed rule, which will amend provisions of the Policies of the Board of Trustees of State University of New York to conform the seating of the Student Assembly President as a State University of New York trustee to the requirements of the State Education Law, is being proposed as a consensus rulemaking. State University of New York has determined that no person is likely to object to the rule as written since it merely makes technical corrections to Part 341.2 [b] of SUNY's regulations, by removing the requirement that the Student Assembly develop a procedure for electing the student member of the State University of New York Board of Trustees which will conform to the State Education Law Section 353, which declares that the President of the Student Assembly will be a trustee.
Job Impact Statement
No job impact statement is submitted with this notice because the proposed rule does not impose any adverse economic impact on existing jobs, employment opportunities, or self-employment. This rule makes a technical change to the regulation to conform the seating of the Student Assembly President as a State University of New York trustee to the requirements of the State Education Law and will not have an impact on the number of jobs or employment.
