 AN ACT to validate  certain  acts  of  the  Chester  Union  Free  school
   district with regard to certain capital improvement projects
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds  that  the
 Chester  Union  Free  school  district  approved two capital improvement
 projects which are designated as project numbers  44020102-0001-005  and
 44020102-0009-001.  In  addition, the projects were eligible for certain
 state aid. The legislature further finds that due to ministerial  error,
 the required filing of the final cost reports for such projects were not
 made  by such district in a timely manner making the district ineligible
 for certain aid. The legislature further finds that  without  such  aid,
 the  capital  improvement  projects  will impose an additional, unantic-
 ipated hardship on district taxpayers.
   § 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore  had  and  taken  or
 caused  to be had or taken by the Chester Union Free school district and
 by all its officers or agents  relating  to  or  in  connection  with  a
 certain  final  cost report to be filed with the state education depart-
 ment for project numbers 44020102-0001-005  and  44020102-0009-001,  and
 all  acts  incidental  thereto are hereby legalized, validated, ratified
 and confirmed, notwithstanding any failure to comply with  the  approval
 and filing provisions of the education law or any other law or any other
 statutory  authority,  rule or regulation, in relation to any omissions,
 error, defect, irregularity or illegality in such  proceedings  had  and
 taken, and provided further that any amount due and payable to the Ches-
 ter  Union  Free school district for school years prior to the 2017-2018
 school year as a result of this  act  shall  be  paid  pursuant  to  the
 provisions of paragraph c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the educa-
 tion law.
   §  3.  The  education  department  is  hereby directed to consider the
 approved costs of the aforementioned projects as valid and proper  obli-

 S. 9010                             2
 
 gations  of  the  Chester  Union Free school district provided that such
 school district:
   (a)  submitted  the  late or missing final project cost reports to the
 commissioner of education on or before December 31, 2018;
   (b) such cost report is approved by the commissioner of education;
   (c) all state funds expended by the school district, as documented  in
 such  cost  reports, were properly expended for such capital projects in
 accordance with the terms and conditions for such projects  as  approved
 by the commissioner of education; and
   (d) the failure to submit such reports in a timely manner was an inad-
 vertent  administrative or ministerial oversight by the school district,
 and there is no evidence of any fraudulent or other improper  intent  by
 such district.
   § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
