AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to information  contained
  in  petitions for the nomination of members of the school board of the
  city of Buffalo

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

  Section 1. Paragraph f of subdivision 10 of section 2553 of the educa-
tion  law,  as  added  by chapter 242 of the laws of 1974, is amended to
read as follows:
  f. Petitions for the nomination of members of such school board  shall
be on white paper containing the required signatures of qualified voters
of  the  city  of Buffalo. The sheets of such petition shall be numbered
consecutively, beginning with number one, at the  foot  of  each  sheet.
Such  a  petition  must  set forth in every instance the correct date of
signing, the full name of the signer, his present residence, [the  resi-
dence  from  which  he  was registered at the time of the last preceding
general election, if he was registered at that time,]  the  city  school
subdistrict  of  such residence [at such time] and the election district
thereof [at such time]. A signer need not  himself  fill  in  the  date,
residence  or  residences, city school subdistrict or election district.
The election district of the signer to be filed in the petition shall be
the election district in effect at the time of the last preceding gener-
al election. [If the residence from which the signer was  registered  at
the time of the last preceding general election is the same as his pres-
ent  residence, the word "same" may be written, instead of repeating the
place of residence. If the signer was not registered at the time of  the
last general election, he shall write "not registered at that time."]
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


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