ment

AN ACT in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying and confirming
actions of the Belleville Henderson central 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
Belleville Henderson central school district approved several capital
improvement projects which were designated by the state education
department as project numbers 22-09-09-04-0-010-006 and
22-09-09-04-0-010-005. 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 Belleville Henderson central 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 22-09-09-04-0-010-006 and 22-09-09-04-0-010-005,
and all acts incidental thereto are hereby legalized, validated, rati-
fied 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
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.

omissions, error, defect, irregularity or illegality in such proceedings

the Belleville Henderson central school district for school years prior
to the 2011--2012 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.
S 3. The state education department is hereby directed to consider the
approved costs of the aforementioned projects as valid and proper obli-
gations of the Belleville Henderson central school district.
