       Introduced  by  Sen.  ZELDIN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
         printed to be committed to the Committee on Education
       AN ACT directing the education department to issue certain state aid  to
         the  Central  Islip  union  free  school  district for certain capital
         construction projects
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the
    2  Central Islip  Union  Free  School  District  approved  several  capital
    3  improvement  projects  which  were  designated  by  the  State Education
    4  Department as project numbers 0002-006,  0003-008,  0005-007,  0006-005,
    5  0007-006,  0008-007 and 0004-005. In  addition, the projects were eligi-
    6  ble for certain state aid. The legislature further  finds  that  due  to
    7  ministerial  error,  required  filings for eligibility for such aid were
    8  not made by the district in a timely manner making the district ineligi-
    9  ble for certain aid. The legislature further  finds  that  without  such
   10  aid,  the  capital improvement projects will impose an additional, unan-
   11  ticipated hardship on district taxpayers.
   12    S 2.  All the acts done and proceedings heretofore had  and  taken  or
   13  caused  to  be  had  and  taken  by  the Central Islip Union Free School
   14  District and by all its officers or agents relating to or in  connection
   15  with  certain  final  cost  reports to be filed with the state education
   16  department  for  projects  0002-006,   0003-008,   0005-007,   0006-005,
   17  0007-006,  0008-007  and  0004-005, and all acts incidental thereto, are
   18  hereby legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any
   19  failure to comply with the approval and filing provisions of the  educa-
   20  tion  law  or  any  other  law or any other statutory authority, rule or
   21  regulation, in relation to any omissions, error, defect, irregularity or
   22  illegality in such proceedings had and taken and provided  further  that
   23  any  amount  due  and  payable  to  the  Central Islip Union Free School
   24  District for school years prior to  the  2012--2013  school  year  as  a
   25  result of this act shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
   26  c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the education law.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD10901-06-2
       S. 6141                             2

    2  approved costs of the aforementioned project as valid and  proper  obli-
    3  gations of the Central Islip Union Free School District.
