NY makes the condition that the free public tuition will be initially considered loans that must be paid back. If they stay in the NY state for a job, the loan would be waived for as many years as the tuition was paid

Would think some families will move to NY to qualify their kids. This could make Buffalo, Binghampton. Stony Brook and Albany even more selective and hurt private NY schools. But a lot of grads could choose to work at Starbucks until the loan is waived after 4 or 5 years. NY could see a lot of new debt.
