          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any
     2  provision of statute or regulation that requires a local  government  or
     3  school  district to submit a report to a state agency or authority shall
     4  expire and be deemed repealed on April 1, 2019; provided, however,  that
     5  all provisions of such statutes and regulations other than such specific
     6  reporting requirements shall be unaffected by the repeal of such report-
     7  ing requirements and remain in full force and effect.
     8    §  2. Every state agency and authority shall prepare and submit to the
     9  mandate relief council, on or before December 31, 2018,  a  report  that
    10  identifies  each  report  it  receives from local governments and school
    11  districts pursuant to statutory or regulatory requirements and, for each
    12  such report, explains the agency's or authority's need for  the  report,
    13  makes  a  recommendation to eliminate or continue the reporting require-
    14  ment, and,  where  the  recommendation  is  to  continue  the  reporting
    15  requirement,  makes additional recommendations including but not limited
    16  to the secure electronic transmission of data directly to state agencies
    17  and authorities to reduce the burden the reporting  requirement  imposes
    18  on local governments and school districts.
    19    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
