BILL NUMBER: S7560

SPONSOR: MARCELLINO
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend subpart F of part C of chapter 97 of
the laws of 2011 amending the education law relating to census report-
ing, in relation to making permanent certain provisions authorizing a
school district to provide student transportation based upon patterns of
actual ridership

 
PURPOSE:

This bill would make permanent changes to student bus transportation
based upon patterns of actual ridership.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends Section 26 subpart F of part C of chapter 97 of the
laws of 2011 to permanently extend the option to school district's to
reduce the number of seats available on bus transportation based on
patterns of actual ridership. Nothing in this section will reduce the
number of seats available for students currently in need of transporta-

tion.

Section 2: Sets the enacting date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Prior to 2011, many school districts had complaints that they were
required to provide under existing law many more seats on bus transpor-
tation that are actually needed as evidenced by student ridership.
Schools are experiencing budget cuts and more pressure than ever to save
money and seek efficiencies. As part of chapter 97 of the laws of 2011,
the option for school districts to reduce the number of seats available
to students on bus transportation based on patterns of ridership was
implemented and set to expire on June 30, 2019. This bill continues the
efforts for mandate relief by extending this provision and permanently
keeping this cost saving measure available for school districts.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2016: A.6152 Education

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
