                                      ___________
       Introduced  by  Sen. LAVALLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
         printed to be committed to the Committee on Education
       AN ACT in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying  and  confirming
         actions  of the Rocky Point union free school district with respect to
         certain building aid contracts
         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  Rocky Point union free school district approved several capital improve-
    3  ment projects which were designated by the state education department as
    4  project numbers 001-006, 006-007, 006-010, 005-017, 005-011, 001-008 and
    5  005-015.  In addition, the projects were eligible for certain state aid.
    6  The legislature further finds that due to ministerial error, a  required
    7  filing  for  eligibility  for such aid was not made by the district in a
    8  timely manner making the district ineligible for certain aid. The legis-
    9  lature further finds that without  such  aid,  the  capital  improvement
   10  projects  will  impose an additional, unanticipated hardship on district
   11  taxpayers.
   12    S 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore  had  and  taken  or
   13  caused to be had and taken by the Rocky Point union free school district
   14  and  by  all  its  officers  or agents relating to or in connection with
   15  certain final cost reports to be filed with the state education  depart-
   16  ment  for  projects 001-006, 006-007, 006-010, 005-017, 005-011, 001-008
   17  and 005-015, and all acts incidental thereto are hereby legalized, vali-
   18  dated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding  any  failure  to  comply
   19  with  the  approval  and  filing  provisions of the education law or any
   20  other law or any other  statutory  authority,  rule  or  regulation,  in
   21  relation  to any omissions, error, defect, irregularity or illegality in
   22  such proceedings had and taken, and provided further that any amount due
   23  and payable to the Rocky Point union free  school  district  for  school
   24  years  prior to the 2011--2012 school year as a result of this act shall
   25  be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph c of  subdivision  5  of
   26  section 3604 of the education law.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD09107-01-1
       S. 6143                             2
    1    S  3.  The  education  department  is  hereby directed to consider the
    2  approved costs of the aforementioned projects as valid and proper  obli-
    3  gations of the Rocky Point union free school district.
    4    S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
