AN ACT to amend the education law,  in  relation  to  apportionment  for
  student transportation

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

  Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 7 of section 3602 of the  educa-
tion  law,  as amended by section 17 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws
of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
  a. In addition to the foregoing apportionment, there shall  be  appor-
tioned  to  any  school district for pupil transportation, the lesser of
ninety per centum or the state  share  of  its  approved  transportation
expense  for  the  base year. The state share shall equal the sum of the
transportation sparsity adjustment and the transportation aid ratio, but
not less than six and one-half percent.  The  transportation  aid  ratio
shall  equal  the  greater  of  (i)  the  product of one and two hundred
sixty-three thousandths multiplied by the state sharing ratio,  (ii)  an
aid ratio computed by subtracting from one and one hundredth the product
computed  to three decimals without rounding obtained by multiplying the
resident weighted average daily attendance  wealth  ratio  by  forty-six
percent, where such aid ratio shall be expressed as a decimal carried to
three  places without rounding [or], (iii) excluding cities with a popu-
lation of more than one million, an aid ratio  computed  by  subtracting
from  one and one hundredth the product computed to three decimal places
without rounding obtained by multiplying the number  computed  to  three
decimals without rounding obtained when the quotient of actual valuation
of  a  school  district, as defined in paragraph c of subdivision one of
this section, divided by the sum of the resident public school  district
enrollment,  the  resident  nonpublic school district enrollment and the
additional public school enrollment of the school district for the  year
prior  to the base year is divided by the statewide average actual valu-
ation per the sum of such total resident public school district  enroll-
ment,  nonpublic school district enrollment and additional public school
enrollment of all school districts eligible for an apportionment  pursu-
