 AN ACT to amend the education law, in  relation  to  the  smart  schools
   review board
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subparagraph 3 of paragraph b of section 16 of section 3641
 of the education law, as amended by section 3 of part YYY of chapter  59
 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:
   (3)  The  smart  schools  review  board shall review all smart schools
 investment plans for compliance with all eligibility criteria and  other
 requirements set forth in the guidelines. The smart schools review board
 [may] SHALL MEET AT MINIMUM ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS TO approve or reject
 such  plans THAT HAVE UNDERGONE SUCH REVIEW, or may return such plans to
 the school district for modifications; provided that notwithstanding any
 inconsistent provision of law, the  smart  schools  review  board  shall
 approve no such plan first submitted to the department on or after April
 fifteenth,  two  thousand  seventeen,  unless  such  plan calculates the
 amount of classroom  technology  to  be  loaned  to  students  attending
 nonpublic  schools  pursuant to section seven hundred fifty-five of this
 chapter in a manner that includes the  amount  budgeted  by  the  school
 district  for servers, wireless access points and other portable connec-
 tivity devices to be acquired as part of a school connectivity  project.
 AT  EACH SUCH MEETING, THE SMART SCHOOLS REVIEW BOARD SHALL ANNOUNCE THE
 DATE FOR THEIR NEXT MEETING. Upon approval, the smart schools project or
 projects described in the investment plan shall be  eligible  for  smart
 schools  grants. A smart schools project included in a school district's
 smart schools investment plan shall not require separate approval of the
 commissioner unless it is part of a school construction project required
 to be submitted for approval of the  commissioner  pursuant  to  section
 four  hundred  eight  of  this chapter and/or subdivision six of section
 thirty-six hundred two of this article. Any department, agency or public
 authority shall provide the smart schools review board with any informa-
 tion it requires to fulfill its duties pursuant to this subdivision.
