BILL NUMBER:S5821 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to assumed amortization for certain school district projects approved by the commissioner PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill changes the current penalty for the failure of school district to file final cost reports.
