BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.    Paragraph  i  of subdivision 2 of section 2023-a of the
education law, as added by section 2 of part A of chapter 97 of the laws
of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
  i. "Tax levy limit" means the amount of taxes  a  school  district  is
authorized to levy pursuant to this section, provided, however, that the
tax levy limit shall not include the following:

or judgments against the school district arising out of tort actions for
any amount that exceeds five percent of the  total  tax  levied  in  the
prior school year;
  (ii)  in years in which the system average actuarial contribution rate
of the New York state and local employees' retirement system, as defined
by paragraph ten of subdivision a of section nineteen-a of  the  retire-
ment  and  social  security  law,  increases by more than two percentage
points from the previous year, a tax levy necessary for expenditures for
the coming fiscal year for school district employer contributions to the
New York state and local employees' retirement system caused  by  growth
in  the  system average actuarial contribution rate minus two percentage
points;
  (iii) in years in which the normal contribution rate of the  New  York
state teachers' retirement system, as defined by paragraph a of subdivi-
sion two of section five hundred seventeen of this chapter, increases by
