        Introduced  by M. of A. BYRNE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Education
        AN ACT to validate certain acts of the Mahopac Central  school  district
          with regard to certain capital improvement projects
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds  that  the
     2  Mahopac  Central  school  district  approved  eight  capital improvement
     3  projects which are designated as  project  numbers  0001-010,  0002-011,
     4  0003-004, 0004-011, 0005-011, 0006-011, 5010-007, and 7012-006. In addi-
     5  tion,  the projects were eligible for certain state aid. The legislature
     6  further finds that due to ministerial error, the required filing of  the
     7  final cost reports for such projects were not made by such district in a
     8  timely manner making the district ineligible for certain aid. The legis-
     9  lature  further  finds  that  without  such aid, the capital improvement
    10  projects will impose an additional, unanticipated hardship  on  district
    11  taxpayers.
    12    §  2.  All  the  acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
    13  caused to be had or taken by the Mahopac Central school district and  by
    14  all  its  officers or agents relating to or in connection with a certain
    15  final cost report to be filed with the state  education  department  for
    16  project  numbers 0001-010, 0002-011, 0003-004, 0004-011, 0005-011, 0006-
    17  011, 5010-007, and 7012-006, and all acts incidental thereto are  hereby
    18  legalized,  validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any fail-
    19  ure to comply with the approval and filing provisions of  the  education
    20  law  or  any  other  law or any other statutory authority, rule or regu-
    21  lation, in relation to any omissions,  error,  defect,  irregularity  or
    22  illegality  in such proceedings had and taken, and provided further that
    23  any amount due and payable to the Mahopac Central  school  district  for
    24  school  years prior to the 2018-2019 school year as a result of this act
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                                                                   LBD11042-01-9

        A. 7129                             2
     1  shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph c of subdivision 5
     2  of section 3604 of the education law.
     3    §  3.  The  education  department  is  hereby directed to consider the
     4  approved costs of the aforementioned projects as valid and proper  obli-
     5  gations of the Mahopac Central school district.
     6    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
