Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Paulin,
Latimer) -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education
AN ACT to legalize, validate, ratify and confirm certain capital
improvement projects of the New Rochelle city school district
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
New Rochelle city school district approved several capital improvement
projects which were designated by the state education department as
project numbers 0001-007, 0002-006, 0004-004, 0012-006, 0006-004, 0003-
006, 0001-009, 0001-010, 7999-001 and 7999-002. In addition, the
projects were eligible for certain state aid. The legislature further
finds that due to ministerial error, required filings for eligibility
for such aid were 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 addi-
tional, 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 New Rochelle city 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 0001-007, 0002-006, 0004-004, 0012-006, 0006-004, 0003-006,
0001-009, 0001-010, 7999-001 and 7999-002, and all acts incidental ther-
eto are hereby legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwith-
standing any failure to comply with the approval and filing provisions
of the education law or any other law or any other statutory authority,
rule or regulation, in relation to any omissions, error, defect, irreg-
ularity or illegality in such proceedings had and taken, and provided
further that any amount due and payable to the New Rochelle city school
district for school years prior to the 2010-11 school year as a result
of this act shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph c of
subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the education law.
