Prevents New York public higher education institutions from using SAT and ACT for admissions after 2026-2027; requires SUNY and CUNY to create a new.

This bill amends the education law to suspend the use of SAT and ACT for undergraduate admissions at New York public higher education institutions, except statutory colleges, starting from the 2026-2027 academic year. For the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 academic years, institutions have the option to consider SAT and ACT scores if submitted by applicants. Beginning with the 2028-2029 academic year, institutions must practice test-blind admissions.
