BILL NUMBER: S6377 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the education law, in relation to the gap elimination adjustment PURPOSE : To eliminate the Gap Elimination Adjustment for the 2016-2017 school year and beyond. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 would make the Gap Elimination Adjustment for the 2016-2017 school year zero. Section 2 would set forth an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION : In 2010, the gap elimination adjustment (GEA) was introduced as a means to close a $10 billion state budget gap. Since its inception, the GEA has taken billions of dollars from local school districts and as a result has had a profoundly negative impact on our schools.
