  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision  9  of  section 2852 of the education law, as
amended by section 2 of part D-2 of chapter 57 of the laws of  2007,  is
amended to read as follows:
  9. [The total number of charters issued pursuant to this article shall
not  exceed two hundred. One hundred of such charters shall be issued on
the recommendation of the charter entity described in paragraph  (b)  of
subdivision  three  of  section  twenty-eight  hundred fifty-one of this
article, and one hundred of such charters shall be issued on the  recom-
mendation  of  the other charter entities set forth in subdivision three
of section twenty-eight hundred fifty-one of this article, provided that
up to fifty of the additional charters authorized to be  issued  by  the
chapter of the laws of two thousand seven which amended this subdivision
effective  July  first,  two thousand seven shall be reserved for a city
school district of a city having a population of one million  or  more.]
The  failure of any body to issue the regulations authorized pursuant to
this article shall not effect the  authority  of  a  charter  entity  to
propose  a  charter  to  the  board  of regents or the board of regents'
authority to grant such charter. [A conversion  of  an  existing  public
school  to  a  charter  school  or the renewal or extension of a charter
shall not be counted toward the numerical  limits  established  by  this
subdivision.]
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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