BILL NUMBER:S5343 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing those submitting applications to the education department pursuant to title eight of the education law to submit an affirmation in lieu of oath PURPOSE OF THE BILL: To remove a barrier to the electronic filing of applications under Title 8 of the Education Law by authorizing the use of affirmations certifying that statements are true under penalty of perjury in lieu of a statement sworn under oath, thereby making the filing of such applications less burdensome and more efficient for both the applicants and the education department. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE BILL: Section 1 of this proposal would add a new section 6501-b to the Education Law to provide that any application required under Title 8 of the Education Law to be filed with the Department may, in lieu of being certified or sworn under oath, be subscribed by the applicant and affirmed by the applicant as true under penalties of perjury.
