AN  ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the legislative power
  of the regents

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

  Section  1.  Section  207  of  the education law is amended to read as
follows:
  § 207. Legislative power. 1. Subject and in conformity to the  consti-
tution  and  laws  of  the state, the regents shall exercise legislative
functions concerning the educational system of the state, determine  its
educational  policies,  and, except, as to the judicial functions of the
commissioner [of education], establish rules for  carrying  into  effect
the laws and policies of the state, relating to education, and the func-
tions, powers, duties and trusts conferred or charged upon the universi-
ty and the [education] department. But no enactment of the regents shall
modify  in  any degree the freedom of the governing body of any seminary
for the training of priests or clergymen to determine and  regulate  the
entire  course  of religious, doctrinal or theological instruction to be
given in such institution. No rule by which more than  a  majority  vote
shall  be  required  for  any  specified  action by the regents shall be
amended, suspended or repealed by a smaller vote than that required  for
action thereunder. Rules or regulations, or amendments or repeals there-
of, adopted or prescribed by the commissioner [of education] as provided
by  law shall not be effective unless and until approved by the regents,
except where authority is conferred by the regents upon the commissioner
[of education] to adopt, prescribe, amend or repeal such rules or  regu-
lations.
  2.  ANY  RESOLUTION  THAT ALTERS OR AMENDS THE RULES OR REGULATIONS AS
ESTABLISHED BY THE REGENTS SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

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