   Section 1. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore had and  taken
 or  caused  to be had and taken by the Syracuse city school district and
 by all officers, employees or agents of such school district relating to
 or in connection with transportation contracts E275976  and  E275975  of
 the  2018-2019  school  year,  and all acts incidental hereto are hereby
 legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any  fail-
 ure to comply with the contract award, approval and filing provisions of
 the  education  law,  the  general municipal law or any other law or any
 other statutory authority, rule or regulation, other than  those  filing
 provisions  defined  in  paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of
 the education law, in relation to any omission,  error,  defect,  irreg-
 ularity or illegality in such proceeding had and taken and provided that
 the  failure  to submit a transportation contract in a timely manner was
 an inadvertent administrative or ministerial  oversight  by  the  school
 district,  and  there is no evidence of any fraudulent or other improper
 intent by such district.   The  state  education  department  is  hereby
 directed to consider the aforementioned contracts for transportation aid
 as valid and proper obligations of the Syracuse city school district and
 shall  not recover from such district any penalty arising from the fail-
 ure to submit a transportation contract in  a  timely  manner,  provided
 that  any  amounts  already  so  recovered  shall be deemed a payment of
 moneys due for prior years pursuant to paragraph c of subdivision  5  of
 section  3604  of  the  education  law  and  shall be paid to the school
 district pursuant to such provision.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
