BILL NUMBER:S3467

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to authorize approval of certain transportation contracts of the
Mamaroneck union free school district

PURPOSE:
To amend the education law, in reference to certain acts of the
Mamaroneck Union Free School District regarding transportation
contract for the 2008-2009 school year. The following contract was
unfairly denied 1 and should be paid. The contract is C-412087 for
the projected amount of $70,055 in 2008-09.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section � 1 ratifies the Education law in to legalize, validate,
ratify and confirm notwithstanding any failure to comply with the
contract award;

Section � 2 directs the transportation aid as valid and proper.

Section � 3 requires that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Mamaroneck Union Free School District followed proper procedures
for public notification regarding the awarding of transportation
contracts for the 2008-2009. Unfortunately, the newspaper of record
erred and did not publish the notification as per their agreement
with the school district. The State Education Department denied the
contract because the ad never appeared in the paper. In response,
Mamaroneck provided receipts to SED demonstrating their intent to
follow the proper procedures. SED would still not award the contract,
This legislation is necessary to enable SED to award the contracts as
the school district did act in full compliance
with the required notice provisions. This legislation is required for
the school district to receive the appropriate transportation aid as
they would otherwise be entitled to under state law.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7982-A/A.11387 -- 09/18/10 VETOED MEMO.6799

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
