        Introduced  by  Sen.  JACOBS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Education
        AN ACT  to  amend  the  education  law,  in  relation  to  incentivizing
          reductions in pupil transportation costs
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Section 3602 of the education law is amended  by  adding  a
     2  new subdivision 7-a to read as follows:
     3    7-a. Apportionment for incentivizing reduction in pupil transportation
     4  costs. In addition to the foregoing apportionment, there shall be appor-
     5  tioned  to any school district for pupil transportation, an amount based
     6  on the difference between the current total annual allowable mileage, as
     7  defined in section thirty-six hundred twenty-one of  this  article,  and
     8  the  highest  total annual allowable mileage the school district has had
     9  over the previous five years. The amount of such apportionment shall  be
    10  calculated  as  the reduction in the school district's apportionment for
    11  pupil transportation due to the  reduction  in  total  annual  allowable
    12  mileage  compared  to the apportionment the year the school district had
    13  its highest total annual allowable mileage over the previous five  years
    14  for the first year of the reduction, half of the reduction in apportion-
    15  ment in the second year of the reduction, and a quarter of the reduction
    16  in  apportionment in the third year of the reduction. Such apportionment
    17  shall be used  on  costs  associated  with  conversion  of  that  school
    18  district to a walkable school model.
    19    §  2.  This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
    20  the date on which it shall have become a law.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
