          preparedness study"; and providing for the repeal of  such  provisions
          upon expiration thereof
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

     5  profit cultural, religious and educational institutions which serve  the
     6  needs  of  millions  of  New  Yorkers.  A number of these not-for-profit
     7  institutions are subject to an increased risk of terrorist  attack,  and

     8  lack  the  resources  and  expertise  to  adequately  protect themselves
     9  against such threats.

    11  the security needs of those not-for-profit institutions that are subject
    12  to  increased  risk of terrorist attack and registered with the New York
    13  State Office of the Attorney General as a not-for-profit institution and
    14  report on the universe of federal and state financial  resources  avail-
    15  able  to  assist  those  not-for-profit institutions in protecting their
    16  facilities and users of their services, and  any  other  strategies  for
    17  improving  security and protecting not-for-profit institutions facing an
    18  increased risk of terrorist attack.
