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

  Section 1. Subparagraph (i) of paragraph b of subdivision 1 of section
3635  of  the  education  law,  as amended by chapter 571 of the laws of
1994, is amended to read as follows:
  (i) School districts  [providing]  SHALL  PROVIDE  transportation  FOR
PUPILS  LIVING  WITHIN  THE  SCHOOL DISTRICT'S BOUNDARIES to a nonpublic
school [for pupils living within a specified distance from such] LOCATED
WITHIN FIFTEEN MILES OF SUCH SCHOOL DISTRICT'S BOUNDARIES.  SUCH  school
shall designate one or more public schools as centralized pick-up points
and  shall provide transportation between such points and such nonpublic
schools for students residing in the district [who  live  too  far  from
such  nonpublic  schools  to qualify for transportation between home and
school].  The district shall not be responsible  for  the  provision  of
transportation  for  pupils  between their home and such pick-up points.
The district may provide school bus transportation to  a  pupil  if  the
residence of the pupil is located on an established route for the trans-
portation  of  pupils  to  the  centralized  pick-up point provided such
transportation does not result in additional costs to the district.  The
cost  of  providing  transportation between such pick-up points and such
nonpublic schools shall be an ordinary contingent expense.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


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