New York Education Law Section 5901 - Statement of objectives and legislative findings.

 5901. Statement   of  objectives  and  legislative  findings.    The
  legislative  process,  involving  determination  of  public  needs   and
  aspirations, the allocation of funds between private and public sectors,
  the  order  of  priorities  within the public sector, the maintenance of
  stability within our society, the invigoration of the productive  forces
  of  the state, is a dynamic system.  As society becomes more specialized
  and scientific advances multiply and the legislature's role in  decision
  making   increases,  it  becomes  more  necessary  than  ever  that  the
  legislative process provide an avenue for responsible closing of the gap
  between technological know-how and our social institutions.
The legislature finds that in order to  promote  public  interest  and
  welfare,  it  is  essential that there be provided a central institution
  where research, training and information on the legislative  process  be
  provided.
