                                     March 19, 2019
                                       ___________
        Introduced by M. of A. STIRPE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Education
        AN  ACT in relation to authorizing the Liverpool central school district
          to receive state aid for certain approved capital funded projects
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the
     2  Liverpool central school district approved capital improvement  projects
     3  which  were  designated  by  the  state  education department as project
     4  number  0001-003,  0001-005,  0002-007,  0003-003,  0003-005,  0004-005,
     5  0005-006,  0007-003,  0009-004,  0009-006, 0010-005, 0010-007, 0012-003,
     6  0014-005, 0015-003, 0016-007, 0016-010,  0016-011,  0018-008,  0018-010,
     7  0019-007,  0024-004,  4011-001, 5008-002. In addition, the projects were
     8  eligible for certain state aid. The legislature further finds  that  due
     9  to ministerial error, a required filing for eligibility for such aid was
    10  not made by the district in a timely manner making the district ineligi-
    11  ble  for  certain  aid.  The legislature further finds that without such
    12  aid, the capital improvement projects will impose an  additional,  unan-
    13  ticipated hardship on district taxpayers.
    14    §  2.  All  the  acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
    15  caused to be had and taken by the Liverpool central school district  and
    16  by  all its officers or agents relating to or in connection with certain
    17  final cost reports to be filed with the state education  department  for
    18  projects  0001-003,  0001-005,  0002-007,  0003-003, 0003-005, 0004-005,
    19  0005-006, 0007-003, 0009-004, 0009-006,  0010-005,  0010-007,  0012-003,
    20  0014-005,  0015-003,  0016-007,  0016-010, 0016-011, 0018-008, 0018-010,
    21  0019-007, 0024-004, 4011-001, 5008-002, and all acts incidental  thereto
    22  are hereby legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding
    23  any  failure  to  comply  with the approval and filing provisions of the
    24  education law or any other law or any other statutory authority, rule or
    25  regulation, in relation to any omissions, error, defect, irregularity or
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD10774-01-9
        A. 6773                             2
     1  illegality in such proceedings had and taken, and provided further  that
     2  any  amount due and payable to the Liverpool central school district for
     3  all school years as a result of this act shall be paid pursuant  to  the
     4  provisions of paragraph c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the educa-
     5  tion law.
     6    §  3.  The  department of education is hereby directed to consider the
     7  approved costs of the projects set forth in this act as valid and proper
     8  obligations of the Liverpool central school district.
     9    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
