BILL NUMBER:S2857 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to state aid to libraries and library systems PURPOSE: To provide some flexibility to libraries and library systems during periods of reduced funding for libraries. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of this bill amends 272(1)(j) of the Education Law to provide that, if state funds appropriated for library aid are less than 85% of the statutory formula amounts, the financial penalties for failing to meet the local maintenance of effort requirements would be waived. Section 2 of this bill adds a new paragraph (m) to 272(1) of the Educa- tion Law. This new paragraph provides that, if state funds appropriated for library aid are less than 85% of the statutory formula amounts, then the Education Commissioner may waive the requirements of the following programs upon request by a library system: 273(4)(b) regarding Medical Information Services Program Aid; 273(4)(c) regarding Hospital Library Services Aid; 273(6) regarding Regional Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing Aid; and 284(1)(g) regarding school library automation aid. Approval of a waiver shall be based on criteria established by the Commissioner, and any such waiver may only be granted on an annual basis.

BILL NUMBER:S2857A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to maintenance of effort for state aid to public library systems PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to amend Education Law 272 so as to clarify the conditions under which the Commissioner of Education can authorize a waiver in relation to maintenance of effort provisions for state aid to public library systems. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of this bill would amend subparagraph 3 of paragraph j of subdivision 1 of Education Law 272 to authorize the Commissioner of Education to determine the time period for which a waiver would be granted. Section two provides the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: The proposed amendments to Education Law 272 will enable New York State's network of twenty three state-supported public library systems to better meet New Yorkers needs for library services in 2013 and beyond despite continued economic challenges and natural disasters impacting local communities, local governments and school districts.
