NY A06155

Requires the Higher Education Services Corporation president and Education Commissioner to create a centralized net price calculator on the corporation's website for all colleges in New York State

Defines "net price" as the estimated cost of attendance (tuition, fees, housing, meals, books, transportation, dependent care) minus financial aid that does not require repayment

Mandates the calculator function as a single tool for all state colleges rather than linking to individual college calculators, allowing users to compare net prices across institutions

Requires users to enter household income, assets, and other financial information only once to generate estimates for multiple colleges

Takes effect 90 days after becoming law, with immediate authorization to develop necessary rules and regulations for implementation
