AN ACT validating  certain  acts  done  by  the  Rochester  city  school
  district and making them eligible for certain aid

  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
Rochester  city  school  district approved a capital improvement project
which was designated by the state education department as project number
0033-015. In addition, the project was 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 legis-
lature  further  finds  that  without  such aid, the capital improvement
project 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 Rochester city school district and  by
all  its  officers or agents relating to or in connection with the final
building project report to be filed with the state education  department
for  project  0033-015, and all acts incident thereto, are hereby legal-
ized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding 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 omission, error, defect, irregularity or illegality in
such proceedings had and taken provided such report is  filed  with  the
state education department no later than July 31, 2009 and provided that
any  amount  due  and  payable to the Rochester city school district for
school years prior to the 2007-2008 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.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
