BILL NUMBER:S6328

TITLE OF BILL:
An   act   to   legalize,   validate,   ratify   and  confirm  certain
transportation contracts of the Hamburg central school district

PURPOSE:
Relates to the transportation contracts  for  Hamburg  Central  School
District.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This  bill  rectifies submission errors made by Hamburg Central School
district when filing transportation agreements from the 2005-06 school
year.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Hamburg Central  School  District  made  an  error  in  submitting
transportation  contracts  for  the  2005-2006  school  year, and as a
result, the State Department of Education did  not  approve  them.  In
order  for  Hamburg  Central  to  receive  the correct amount of state
transportation aid these past contract numbers must now  be  validated
through  special  legislation. Failure to receive reimbursement of the
transportation contract costs would create undue  fiscal  hardship  to
the school district and its students.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2011:    S.5607/A.7929, Passed Senate (62-0), Passed Assembly (142-0)
2010:    S.7915/A.11125, Passed Senate (61-0), Passed
         Assembly (134-2), Vetoed by Governor (Memo No. 6830)
2009:    S.2841-B/A.7991A, Passed Senate (58-0), Passed Assembly
         (140-0), Vetoed by Governor (Memo No. 56)
2007-08: A.11647A

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
This bill would legalize, validate, ratify and
confirm certain transportation contracts for the Hamburg central
school district. All such contracts listed in this bill have already
been approved, claimed and aided by the state education department.
Therefore, there would be no fiscal impact on the department from
this bill.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
