S941-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S941

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying and confirming actions
of the Oyster Bay - East Norwich central school district with respect
to certain building aid contracts

PURPOSE:
This legislation would remedy a ministerial filing error on
the part of the Oyster Bay-East Norwich central school district in
relation to their eligibility for state aid.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 provides for the legislative intent on the legislation.

Section 2 legalizes, validates, ratifies and confirms the Oyster
Bay-East Norwich central school district compliance with the
requirements set forth so that they shall receive the appropriate
state aid previously allotted to them for certain building projects.

Section 3 provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Oyster Bay-East Norwich central school district
approved several capital improvement projects through the State
Education Department which were deemed eligible for state aid.

Due to ministerial error, however, the proper filing for such aid was
never accomplished, and thus, the District became ineligible for such
aid. This legislation seeks to rectify that situation.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.4211-A; Vetoed in 2010

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
If not adopted, the Oyster Bay-East Norwich
Central School District would suffer a loss of aid totaling
approximately $250,000.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

  AN ACT in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying  and  confirming
    actions  of the Oyster Bay - East Norwich central school district with
    respect to certain building aid contracts

    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
  Oyster Bay - East Norwich central school district approved several capi-
  tal improvement projects which were designated by  the  state  education
  department  as  project  numbers  0-001-023, 0-001-025 and 0-003-014. In
  addition,  the projects were eligible for certain state aid. The  legis-
  lature  further  finds  that due to ministerial error, a required filing
  for eligibility for such aid was 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 Oyster  Bay  -  East  Norwich  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 0-001-023, 0-001-025 and 0-003-014,
  and all acts incidental thereto are hereby legalized,  validated,  rati-
  fied  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
  omissions, error, defect, irregularity or illegality in such proceedings
  had and taken, and provided further that any amount due and  payable  to
  the  Oyster Bay - East Norwich  central school district for school years
  prior to the 2011--2012 school year as a result of  this  act  shall  be

  gations of the Oyster Bay - East Norwich central school district.
