BILL NUMBER:S6564 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to delay- ing the implementation of regents examinations based on the common core state standards until the 2018-2019 school year PURPOSE: This legislation would delay the implementation of the regents examina- tions based on the common core standards until the 2018-19 school year.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The education law is amended by adding a new section 208-b to delay the implementation of the regents examinations based on the common core standards until the 2021-22 school year.
