 the pupil need index, or: (foundation amount x  regional  cost  index  x
 pupil need index)- expected minimum local contribution.
 (1)  The foundation amount shall reflect the average per pupil cost of
 general education instruction in successful school districts, as  deter
 mined  by  a  statistical analysis of the costs of special education and
 general education in successful  school  districts,  provided  that  the
 foundation  amount  shall be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage
 increase in the consumer price index as computed pursuant to section two

 wealth  index,  or (ii) the product of (A) the product of the foundation
 amount, the regional cost index, and the pupil need index, multiplied by
 (B) the positive difference, if any, of  one  minus  the  state  sharing
 ratio  for  total  foundation  aid. The local tax factor shall be estab
 lished by May first of each year by determining the product, computed to
 four decimal places without rounding, of ninety  percent  multiplied  by
 the quotient of the sum of the statewide average tax rate as computed by
 the  commissioner for the current year in accordance with the provisions
 of paragraph e of subdivision one of section thirty-six  hundred  nine-e
 of this part plus the statewide average tax rate computed by the commis
 sioner  for  the  base  year in accordance with such provisions plus the

 mum  local  contribution  the income wealth index shall not be less than
 sixty-five percent (0.65) and shall not be more than two hundred percent
 (2.0) and provided however that such income wealth index  shall  not  be
 more  than  ninety-five  percent  (0.95) for the two thousand eight--two

 wealth  foundation pupil units shall be calculated pursuant to paragraph
 h of subdivision two of this section.

 multiplied by the greater of (i) the positive difference, if any, of (A)
 the product of the total aidable foundation pupil  units  multiplied  by
 the district's selected foundation aid less (B) the total foundation aid
 base  for  aid  payable  in  the  two thousand seven--two thousand eight
 school year computed pursuant to subparagraph  (i)  of  paragraph  j  of

 provisions,  notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision  of  section  ONE
 HUNDRED  TWELVE,  one  hundred  thirty-five, one hundred thirty-six, one
 hundred thirty-nine or one hundred forty of the state finance law OR ANY
 OTHER LAW, provided, however, that where the estimated  expense  of  any
 contract  which may be awarded pursuant to this subdivision is less than
 TWO HUNDRED fifty thousand dollars, a performance bond and  a  bond  for
 the  payment  of  labor and material may, in the discretion of the fund,
 not be required, and except that  in  the  discretion  of  the  fund,  a
 contract  may  be  entered into for such purposes without public letting
 where the  estimated  expense  thereof  is  less  than  twenty  thousand

 exists as a result of damage to an existing academic building, dormitory
 or other facility which has been caused by an act of God, fire or  other
 casualty,  or any other unanticipated, sudden and unexpected occurrence,
 that has resulted in damage to or a malfunction in an existing  academic
 building,  dormitory or other facility and involves a pressing necessity
 for immediate repair, reconstruction or maintenance in order  to  permit
 the  safe  continuation  of  the use or function of such facility, or to
 protect the facility or the life, health or safety of  any  person,  and
 the nature of the work is such that in the judgment of the fund it would
 be  impractical  and against the public interest to have public letting;
 provided, however, that the fund, prior to awarding a contract hereunder
 because of an emergency condition notify the comptroller of  its  intent
 to award such a contract:

 which  may  be  awarded  pursuant  to  this subdivision is less than TWO

 [and  a statement of the time and place where all bids received pursuant
 to such notice will be publicly opened and read].
 b. The letting agency  shall  not  award  any  contract  after  public
 bidding  except  to the lowest bidder who in its opinion is qualified to
 perform the work required and is responsible and reliable.  The  letting
 agency  may,  however, reject any or all bids, again advertise for bids,
 or waive any informality in a bid if it believes that the public  inter
 est will be promoted thereby.
 c.  The  invitation  to  bid,  REQUEST  FOR PROPOSALS and the contract
 awarded  shall  contain  such  other  terms  and  conditions,  and  such
 provisions for penalties, as the letting agency may deem desirable.
 d. [The form of any] ANY contract awarded pursuant to this subdivision
 shall  [be  approved  by the attorney general and by the comptroller and
 shall] contain a clause that the contract shall be deemed  executory  to
 the  extent  of  the  moneys  available  and  that no liability shall be
 incurred by the fund beyond the moneys available therefor.
 e. The letting agency shall require such deposits, bonds and  security
 in  connection with the submission of bids OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, the
 award of contracts and the performance of work as it shall determine  to
 be in the public interest and for the protection of the state, the state
 university, the fund and the letting agency.
 f.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of any other law to the contrary,
 all  contracts  for  public  work  awarded  by  the   state   university
 construction  fund  pursuant  to this subdivision shall be in accordance
 with section one hundred thirty-nine-f of the state finance law.
 G. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING  AGREEMENT  BETWEEN
 THE  FUND AND ITS REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES, ALL WORK CURRENTLY PERFORMED BY
 REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES OF THE FUND UPON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS  PARA
 GRAPH  SHALL  CONTINUE TO BE PERFORMED BY SUCH EMPLOYEES. NOTHING IN THE
 CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN WHICH  ADDED  THIS  PARAGRAPH
 SHALL  RESULT  IN  A  DISPLACEMENT OF ANY CURRENTLY EMPLOYED REPRESENTED
 WORKER OR LOSS OF POSITION, INCLUDING PARTIAL  DISPLACEMENT  SUCH  AS  A
 REDUCTION IN WORK HOURS, WAGES OR OTHER BENEFITS.
 

S  7.  Subdivision  4 of section 377 of the education law, as added by
 chapter 624 of the laws of 1999, is amended to read as follows:

 4. Monies received by the fund, FOR ALL OF ITS OPERATING AND  ADMINIS
 TRATIVE COSTS OR in connection with approved university-related economic
 development  facilities,  [other than state appropriations to the fund,]
 may be deposited in a general account and other  such  accounts  as  the
 fund  may  deem  necessary,  for  the transaction of its business [or in
 relation to construction or property management activities undertaken in
 connection with such projects] and shall be paid out on checks signed by
 the chairman of the fund or such other person or persons as the trustees
 of the fund may authorize.

 OF NINETEEN HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE, to teaching and research center  nurses
 of the state university of New York [pursuant to subdivision thirteen of
 section three hundred fifty-five-a of the education law] may be based on
 a  study  of representative peer institutions in private or other public
 hospitals in the same geographic area as a hospital of the state univer
 sity which shows that WAGE RATES  AND/OR  pay  differentials  of  nurses
 employed by such peer institutions are higher than the wage rates and/or
 pay  differentials  paid  by  the  state to teaching and research center
 nurses of the state university. Whenever, in the opinion  of  the  chief
 administrative  officer  of the health science centers at which teaching
 and research center nurses are  employed,  additional  compensation  for
 such  employees is necessary to maintain adequate support to protect the
 health, safety and welfare of patients, such chief administrative  offi
 cer OR PRESIDENT shall request the state university board of trustees to
 conduct such a study.

 UNIT  LOCATED WITHIN A SCHOOL DISTRICT) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TAX SAVINGS

 FOR  THE TWO THOUSAND TEN-TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN SCHOOL YEAR, WITH SEPARATE
 CALCULATIONS FOR THE BASIC AND ENHANCED EXEMPTIONS.
 (III)  WHERE  A  SCHOOL TAX RATE WAS CHANGED IN THE MIDST OF THE PRIOR
 SCHOOL YEAR, AN ANNUALIZED SCHOOL  TAX  RATE  SHALL  BE  USED  FOR  THIS
 PURPOSE. THE ANNUALIZED TAX RATE FOR THIS PURPOSE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY
 CALCULATING  THE  AVERAGE  OF  THE  TAX RATES IN EFFECT AT VARIOUS TIMES
 DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, WEIGHTED ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME  DURING
 WHICH THEY WERE RESPECTIVELY APPLICABLE.
 (B) A statement shall then be placed on the tax bill for the parcel in
 substantially  the following form: "Your tax savings this year resulting
 from the New York state school tax relief (STAR) program is $."

 NOT, HOWEVER, OVERRIDE THE DATES OTHERWISE SET BY LAW FOR  THE  LEVY  OR
 COLLECTION  OF TAXES, NOR MAY IT OVERRIDE THE DATES OTHERWISE SET BY LAW
 FOR LOCAL FISCAL YEARS TO BEGIN OR END.
 (C) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION,  THE
 COMMISSIONER  MAY, AT HIS OR HER DISCRETION, ADOPT RULES THAT ARE APPLI
 CABLE ONLY TO "SPECIAL ASSESSING UNITS," AS  THAT  TERM  IS  DEFINED  BY
 SECTION  EIGHTEEN  HUNDRED  ONE  OF  THE  REAL  PROPERTY  TAX LAW, WHICH
 PRESCRIBE AN ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM OF PARCEL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND  AN
 ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT CALENDAR SOLELY FOR SUCH SPECIAL ASSESSING UNITS.

 of this title.  SUCH NOTICE SHALL ALSO INCLUDE  INFORMATION  TO  EXPLAIN

 ance  benefits, and the right to a fair hearing relating to such discon
 tinuance or reduction.  Unless  extended  by  mutual  agreement  of  the
 participant  and the district, conciliation shall terminate and a deter
 mination shall be made within [fourteen]  THIRTY  days  of  the  date  a
 request  for  conciliation  is made [in the case of a safety net partic-
 ipant or within thirty days of the conciliation notice in the case of  a
 family assistance participant].

 INCREASE. Such apportionment shall be for the enhanced investment in the
 state  university  of the state of New York and shall be used to supple
 ment, not supplant, state gross general fund support, unless the  direc
 tor  of the budget determines that state fiscal conditions preclude such
 an outcome and, in which  case,  the  director  shall  submit  a  report

 increase apportionment provisions of this subdivision have been complied

 based  on  state  residency.  Provided,  however, THAT FOR THE 2011-2012

 colleges of agriculture and technology to set differing rates of tuition
 for each of  the  colleges  for  students  enrolled  in  degree-granting

 students  who  are  enrolled  in like degree programs or degree-granting
 undergraduate programs leading to a baccalaureate degree at other state
 operated institutions of the state university of New York. The  trustees

Section  1. Subdivision 3 of section 458-b of the social services law,
 as added by section 4 of part F of chapter 58 of the laws  of  2010,  is
 amended to read as follows:

 3. If the social services official determines that the child is eligi
 ble  for  kinship guardianship assistance payments and it is in the best
 interests of the child for the relative to become the legal guardian  of
 the child, the social services official [shall] MAY enter into an agree
 ment with the prospective relative guardian authorizing the provision of
 kinship  guardianship  assistance  payments,  non-recurring guardianship
 payments, and other services and payments  available  under  this  title
 subject  to  the issuance by the court of letters of guardianship of the
 child to the prospective relative guardian and the child  being  finally
 discharged  from foster care to such relative. In determining whether it
 is in the best interests of the child for the  relative  to  become  the
 relative guardian of the child, the social services official must deter
 mine and document that compelling reasons exist for determining that the
 return  home  of  the child and the adoption of the child are not in the
 best interests of the child and are, therefore, not appropriate  perman
 ency options. A copy of the fully executed agreement must be provided by
 the social services official to the prospective relative guardian.
 

S  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
 manner as section 4 of part F of chapter 58 of the laws  of  2010  takes

 read as follows:

 

S  353.3  Placement. 1. In accordance with section 352.2 of this part,
 the court may place the respondent in his or her  own  home  or  in  the
 custody  of  a suitable relative or other suitable private person or the
 commissioner of the local social services  district  or  the  office  of
 children and family services pursuant to article nineteen-G of the exec
 utive law, subject to the orders of the court.
 2.  Where  the respondent is placed with the commissioner of the local
 social services district, the court may direct the commissioner to place
 him or her with an authorized agency or class  of  authorized  agencies,
 including,  if  the  court  finds  that  the  respondent  is  a sexually
 exploited child as defined in subdivision one of  section  four  hundred
 forty-seven-a  of  the  social services law, an available long-term safe
 house. Unless the dispositional order provides otherwise, the  court  so
 directing  shall  include  one of the following alternatives to apply in
 the event that the commissioner is unable to so place the respondent:

 (a) the commissioner shall apply to the court for an  order  to  stay,
 modify,  set  aside, or vacate such directive pursuant to the provisions
 of section 355.1 of this part; or
 (b) the commissioner shall return the respondent to the  family  court
 for a new dispositional hearing and order.
 3.  Where  the  respondent  is  placed with the office of children and
 family services, the court shall[, unless it directs the office to place
 him or her with an authorized agency or class  of  authorized  agencies,
 including if the court finds that the respondent is a sexually exploited
 child  as  defined in subdivision one of section four hundred forty-sev-
 en-a of the social services  law,  an  available  long-term  safe  house
 
       S. 2808--B                         74
 pursuant  to  subdivision four of this section,] authorize the office to
 do one of the following:

 (a) place the respondent in a secure facility [without a further hear-
 ing  at  any  time  or  from time to time during the first sixty days of
 residency  in  office  of  children  and  family  services   facilities.
 Notwithstanding  the discretion of the office to place the respondent in
 a secure facility at any time during the first sixty days  of  residency
 in a office of children and family services facility, the respondent may
 be placed in a non-secure facility. In the event that the office desires
 to  transfer  a  respondent  to  a secure facility at any time after the
 first sixty days of residency in office facilities, a hearing  shall  be
 held pursuant to subdivision three of section five hundred four-a of the
 executive law]; or
 (b)  place the respondent in a limited secure facility. The respondent
 may be transferred by the office to a secure facility after a hearing is
 held pursuant to section five  hundred  four-a  of  the  executive  law;
 provided,  however,  that  during  the first twenty days of residency in
 office facilities, the respondent shall not be transferred to  a  secure
 facility  unless  the  respondent has committed an act or acts which are
 exceptionally dangerous to the respondent or to others[; or
 (c) place the respondent  in  a  non-secure  facility.  No  respondent
 placed  pursuant  to  this paragraph may be transferred by the office of
 children and family services to a secure facility].
 4. [Where the respondent is placed with the  office  of  children  and
 family services, the court may direct the office to place the respondent
 with an authorized agency or class of authorized agencies, including, if
 the  court  finds  that  the respondent is a sexually exploited child as
 defined in subdivision one of section four hundred forty-seven-a of  the
 social services law, an available long-term safe house, and in the event
 the  office  is  unable  to so place the respondent or, discontinues the
 placement with the authorized agency, the respondent shall be deemed  to
 have  been  placed  with  the office pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of
 subdivision three of this section. In such cases, the office shall noti-
 fy the court, presentment agency, respondent's attorney  and  parent  or
 other  person  responsible  for the respondent's care, of the reason for
 discontinuing the placement with the authorized agency and the level and
 location of the youth's placement.
 5.] If the respondent has committed a felony  the  initial  period  of
 placement  shall  not  exceed  eighteen  months.  If  the respondent has
 committed a misdemeanor such  initial  period  of  placement  shall  not
 exceed  twelve  months.  If the respondent has been in detention pending
 disposition, the initial period of placement ordered under this  section
 shall be credited with and diminished by the amount of time spent by the
 respondent  in  detention  prior  to  the  commencement of the placement
 unless the court finds that all or part of such credit would  not  serve
 the  needs  and  best  interests  of  the  respondent  or  the  need for
 protection of the community.
 [6.] 5. The court may at any time conduct a hearing in accordance with
 section 355.1 of this part concerning the need for continuing  a  place
 ment.
 6. IN THE CASE OF A RESPONDENT PLACED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF
 THIS  SECTION,  SHOULD  THE  COURT  DETERMINE THAT PLACEMENT IN A SECURE
 FACILITY IS NO LONGER NECESSARY, THE COURT MAY EITHER PLACE THE RESPOND
 ENT IN A LIMITED SECURE FACILITY OR MAY PROCEED TO SCHEDULE A NEW DISPO
 SITIONAL HEARING AND ENTER AN ORDER UNDER SECTION 352.2 OF THIS PART.
 
       S. 2808--B                         75
 7. The place in which or the person with whom the respondent has  been
 placed  under  this section shall submit a report to the court, respond
 ent's attorney of record, and presentment agency at  the  conclusion  of

 data  is  not available; and (ii) twenty percent shall be based on other

 consistent with procedures negotiated pursuant to  the  requirements  of
 article fourteen of the civil service law.

 certified  by  the local building inspector and county emergency manage
 ment director, to the satisfaction of the corporation,  as  having  been
 subject  to one or more incidents of flooding since April 1, 2004 and as
 likely to be subject  to  a  future  flood  incident  that  would  cause
 substantial damage thereto. Any application by a county for disbursement
 of  funds  under  this act shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the
 corporation, that: (1) the home is occupied as the primary residence  of
 an  owner with a family income of up to one hundred fifty percent of the
 area median income as defined by the United States department of housing
 and urban development, provided, however,  that  an  otherwise  eligible
 home  shall be eligible for purchase under this act if the current owner
 can demonstrate that the home was occupied as the owner's primary  resi
 dence prior to a flood event that rendered the home unsuitable for habi
 tation;  (2) the current appraised value of the home does not exceed two
 hundred fifty thousand dollars and the purchase price for the home  will
 not  exceed the appraised value less the amount of any property casualty
 insurance or disaster relief payments received by the owner  as  compen
 sation  for  damage incurred in a flood incident; (3) all recorded liens
 or other encumbrances on the home will be released at closing;  (4)  the
 county provides assurances that the home will be condemned and the prop
 erty  will  be  dedicated and maintained in perpetuity for a use that is

 management  practices; and (5) disbursements under this section shall be
 limited to the costs of acquisition of eligible homes, including  legal,
 appraisal, recording and other transaction costs, and the costs of demo
 lition.    In  selecting  homes  for purchase pursuant to this act, each
 county shall give preference to homes with a current appraised value  of
 less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars and to homes that have been
 subject  to  two  or more incidents of flooding since April 1, 2004. The
 corporation shall establish policies and procedures consistent with this
 section, which shall include county reporting  requirements,  and  shall
