AN  ACT to amend the education law, in relation to maintenance of effort
  for state aid to public library systems

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

  Section  1.  Subparagraph 3 of paragraph j of subdivision 1 of section
272 of the education law, as amended by section 2 of part O  of  chapter
57 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  (3)  The  commissioner may waive the requirements of subparagraphs one
and two of this paragraph,  if  the  commissioner  determines  that  the
application of such subparagraphs would result in excessive hardship for
the  public  library  system  or  central  library  brought  about by an
extraordinary change in a local sponsor's economic condition, loss by  a
local  sponsor  of state aid to local governments provided under section
fifty-four of the state finance law, or by  a  natural  disaster.  [Such
waiver  may  be  granted  only one time to each public library system or
central library within five calendar years.  The commissioner may  grant
such  waiver  for a period of up to two consecutive calendar years.] THE
COMMISSIONER MAY GRANT SUCH WAIVER FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO  THREE  CONSEC-
UTIVE  CALENDAR YEARS. The commissioner shall report any waivers granted
under this subparagraph to the speaker of the  assembly,  the  temporary
president of the senate, the chairs of the legislative fiscal committees
and the director of the division of the budget.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
