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

  Section  1.  Subdivision  9 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:
  9.  Nothing  in  this section shall preclude the trustee, trustees, or
board of education of a  school  district,  in  their  discretion,  from
submitting  additional  items of expenditures to the voters for approval
as separate propositions or  the  voters  from  submitting  propositions
pursuant  to sections two thousand eight and two thousand thirty-five of
this part; provided however, except in the case of a proposition submit-
ted for any expenditure contained within subparagraphs (i) through  (iv)
of  paragraph  i of subdivision two of this section, if any proposition,
or propositions collectively that are subject to  a  vote  on  the  same
date,  would  require  an  expenditure of money that would require a tax
levy and would result in the tax  levy  limit  being  exceeded  for  the
corresponding  school  year  then  such proposition shall be approved if
sixty percent of the votes cast thereon are in the affirmative.  IN  THE
EVENT  THAT  SUCH PROPOSITION IS NOT APPROVED AND THE REMAINING PROPOSI-
TION OR PROPOSITIONS COLLECTIVELY WOULD NOT EXCEED THE  TAX  LEVY  LIMIT
FOR  THE CORRESPONDING SCHOOL YEAR, SUCH REMAINING PROPOSITION OR PROPO-
SITIONS SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN APPROVED IF FIFTY  PERCENT  OF  THE
VOTES CAST THEREON ARE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

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