   Section  1. Subparagraph 10 of paragraph h of subdivision 4 of section
 1950 of the education law, as amended by chapter 28 of the laws of 2014,
 is amended to read as follows:
   (10) To enter into contracts [of no more than five years  and  subject
 to  the  sunset  date  of  this  subparagraph,] with out-of-state school
 districts for special education and/or career  and  technical  education
 services or for the use of existing products that demonstrate how to map

 STATE  PUBLIC  SCHOOL SHALL MEAN AN ELEMENTARY OR SECONDARY SCHOOL OR AN
 INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION,  LOCATED  OUTSIDE  OF  NEW  YORK  STATE
 INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO  THOSE  LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL
 UNITED STATES. Any contract shall be approved by the  commissioner,  the
 board  of  cooperative educational services and the district superinten-
 dent of schools, provided such services are made available to any school
 district within the supervisory district and that  the  requirements  of
 this  subparagraph  are  met. Contracts must be executed by the board of
 cooperative educational services and the trustees or boards of education
 of such out-of-state school districts and shall only  authorize  out-of-
 state  students  to  participate  in  an  instructional  program if such
 services are available to  all  eligible  students  in  New  York  state

 schools  in the component districts and the number of participating out-
 of-state students only comprises up to five percent of the total  number
 of the total enrolled students in the instructional program at the board
 of  cooperative  educational  services and that the board of cooperative
 educational services spends no more than thirty percent of  its  employ-
 ees' time on services to out-of-state districts pursuant to this subpar-
 agraph.  To  be approved by the commissioner, the contract and any busi-
 ness plan, shall demonstrate that any services provided to  out-of-state
 schools pursuant to this subparagraph shall not result in any additional
 costs  being imposed on component school districts and that any payments
 received by the board of cooperative educational services  for  services
 provided in this subparagraph that exceed any cost to the board of coop-
 erative  educational  services  for  providing  such  services  shall be
 applied to reduce the costs of  aidable  shared  services  allocated  to
 component  school  districts pursuant to paragraph d of this subdivision
 and shall also be applied to reduce the approved cost of services pursu-
 ant to subdivision five of this section. Services provided by a board of
 cooperative educational services to component districts at the  time  of
 approval  of  a  contract  under  this paragraph shall not be reduced or
 eliminated solely due to a board of  cooperative  educational  services'
 performance of services to out-of-state districts pursuant to this para-
 graph.

 the amendments to subparagraph 10 of paragraph h  of  subdivision  4  of

 not affect the repeal of such subparagraph and shall be deemed to repeal
 therewith.
