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

   Section 1. 1. The commissioner of  education  shall  provide  that  no
 school  district  or board of cooperative educational services may place
 or include on a student's official transcript or maintain in a student's
 permanent record any individual student score on  a  state  administered
 standardized  English language arts or mathematics assessment for grades
 three through eight, provided that nothing herein shall be construed  to
 interfere with required state or federal reporting or to excuse a school
 district  from  maintaining  or transferring records of such test scores
 separately from a student's permanent record, including for purposes  of
 required state or federal reporting.
   2.  The  commissioner of education shall provide that any test results
 on a state administered standardized English language arts or  mathemat-
 ics assessment for grades three through eight sent to parents or persons
 in parental relation to a student include a clear and conspicuous notice
 that  such  results will not be included on the student's official tran-
 script or in the student's permanent record and are  being  provided  to
 the student and parents for diagnostic purposes.
   3.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law, rule or regulation to
 the contrary, the English language arts and  mathematics  state  assess-
 ments for grades three through eight shall not be utilized in any manner
 to  evaluate,  grade, or otherwise determine eligibility for advancement
 in grades of any student.
   § 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2019.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
