AN ACT relating  to  actions  taken  by  the  Smithtown  Central  School
  District regarding capital improvements eligible for state aid

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds  that  the
Smithtown  Central  School District approved several capital improvement
projects which were designated by  the  State  Education  Department  as
project  numbers 7999-002, 0034-022, 0027-008 and 0023-021. In addition,
the projects were  eligible  for  certain  state  aid.  The  legislature
further  finds that due to an administrative error, required filings for
eligibility for such aid were not made  by  the  district  in  a  timely
manner  making  the district ineligible for certain aid. The legislature
further finds that without such aid, the  capital  improvement  projects
will impose an additional, unanticipated hardship on district taxpayers.
  S  2.  All  the  acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
caused to be had and taken by the Smithtown Central School District  and
by  all its officers or agents relating to or in connection with certain
final cost reports to be filed with the State Education  Department  for
projects  7999-002,  0034-022, 0027-008 and 0023-021, and all acts inci-
dental thereto are hereby legalized, validated, ratified and  confirmed,
notwithstanding  any  failure  to  comply  with  the approval and filing
provisions of the education law or any other law or any other  statutory
authority,  rule  or  regulation,  in  relation  to any omission, error,
defect, irregularity or illegality in such proceedings  had  and  taken,
and  provided  further  that any amount due and payable to the Smithtown
Central School District for school years prior  to  the  2012-13  school
year as a result of this act shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the education law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
