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

  Section 1. Paragraph e of subdivision 14 of section 305 of the  educa-
tion  law,  as amended by chapter 464 of the laws of 1997, is amended to
read as follows:
  e. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or local law
or charter, a board of education or a trustee of a district, pursuant to
rules and regulations promulgated  by  the  commissioner,  may  award  a
contract  for  the  transportation  of  pupils  or a contract for mobile
instructional units OR FOR THE PROVISION, MAINTENANCE AND  OPERATION  OF
CAFETERIA  OR  RESTAURANT  SERVICE  BY A PRIVATE FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT
COMPANY involving an annual expenditure in excess of the  amount  speci-
fied  for  purchase contracts in the bidding requirements of the general
municipal law in compliance with the provisions of paragraph a  of  this
subdivision  or  subsequent  to  an evaluation of proposals submitted in
response to a request for proposals prepared by  or  for  the  board  of
education or trustee of a district. A CONTRACT AWARDED THROUGH A REQUEST
FOR  PROPOSALS  SHALL  BE AWARDED BASED ON BEST VALUE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION ONE HUNDRED THREE OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW. The  commission-
er, in addition to his existing statutory authority to approve or disap-
prove transportation contracts, may reject any award of a transportation
contract  or  a contract for mobile instructional units that is based on
an evaluation of proposals  submitted  in  response  to  a  request  for
proposals if he finds that (1) the contractor is not the most responsive
to  the  request  for  proposals,  or (2) that the best interests of the
district will be promoted thereby.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


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