        Introduced  by M. of A. TITONE, SIMON, BENEDETTO, M. G. MILLER -- Multi-
          Sponsored by -- M. of A. ABBATE, BLAKE, COOK, HOOPER, WALKER  --  read
          once and referred to the Committee on Education
        AN  ACT  to  amend  the education law, in relation to special provisions
          relating to instruction of certain children with  handicapping  condi-
          tions
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 4407  of  the  education  law,  as
     2  amended  by  chapter  53  of  the  laws  of  1989, is amended to read as
     3  follows:
     4    2. The state education department shall maintain a  register  of  such
     5  educational  facilities  which  are  outside  of  the state which, after
     6  inspection, it deems qualified to meet the needs of certain children for
     7  instruction pursuant to subdivision one of  this  section.    Public  or
     8  private  facilities  of  instruction  located outside of the state which
     9  apply to the department for approval, shall, notwithstanding any  review
    10  or  revision  of  policy  undertaken  by the department, be added to the
    11  register if such facilities are found by  the  department  to  meet  the
    12  needs  of  certain  children  for instruction. The continual approval of
    13  such facilities is necessary to safeguard the right of handicapped chil-
    14  dren in New York state to access appropriate educational  services  when
    15  there is no appropriate in-state placement available.
    16    §  2. This act shall take effect on the first of October next succeed-
    17  ing the date it shall have become a law; provided, however, that  effec-
    18  tive  immediately, the addition, amendment, and/or repeal of any rule or
    19  regulation necessary for the timely implementation of this  act  on  its
    20  effective date is authorized and directed to be made and completed on or
    21  before such effective date.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
