AN ACT in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying  and  confirming
  actions of the Port Washington 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:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds  that  the
Port  Washington  union  free  school  district approved several capital
improvement projects  which  were  designated  by  the  state  education
department  as  project  numbers 0001-006, 0002-001, 0003-004, 0005-008,
0006-004, and 0007-005. In addition,  the  projects  were  eligible  for
certain state aid. The legislature further finds that due to ministerial
error,  a  required  filing for eligibility for such aid was not made by
the district in a timely  manner  making  the  district  ineligible  for
certain  aid.  The  legislature further finds that without such aid, the
capital improvement projects will impose  an  additional,  unanticipated
hardship on district taxpayers.
  S  2.  All  the  acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
caused to be had and taken by the  Port  Washington  union  free  school
district  and by all its officers or agents relating to or in connection
with certain final cost reports to be filed  with  the  state  education
department   for   projects   0001-006,  0002-001,  0003-004,  0005-008,
0006-004, and 0007-005, and  all  acts  incidental  thereto  are  hereby
legalized,  validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any fail-
ure to comply with the approval and filing provisions of  the  education
law  or  any  other  law or any other statutory authority, rule or regu-
lation, in relation to any omissions,  error,  defect,  irregularity  or
illegality  in such proceedings had and taken, and provided further that
any amount due and payable to the  Port  Washington  union  free  school
