          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-

        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  1  of  section  414  of the education law is
     2  amended by adding a new paragraph (l) to read as follows:
     3    (l) For bona fide after-school programs operated by  a  not-for-profit
     4  or  charitable  organization.  Such  programs shall present some form of
     5  educational instruction or academic material, or promote physical educa-
     6  tion.
     7    § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 414 of the education law, as amended  by
     8  chapter 513 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
     9    2.  The  trustees  or board of education shall determine the terms and
    10  conditions for such use which may include rental at least in  an  amount
    11  sufficient  to  cover  all  resulting expenses for the purposes of para-
    12  graphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (i), (j) and (k) of subdivision one

    13  of this section. For the purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision one of
    14  this section, the trustees or board of education may provide that either
    15  no fee or a minimal fee be imposed upon the not-for-profit or charitable
    16  organization. Any such use, pursuant to [paragraphs] paragraph (a), (c),
    17  (d), (h) [and], (j) or (l) of subdivision one of this section, shall not
    18  allow the exclusion of any district child solely because said  child  is
    19  not  attending  a  district  school or not attending the district school
    20  which is sponsoring such use or on which grounds the use is to occur.
    21    § 3. Subdivision 27 of section 2590-h of the education law, as amended

     2  in accordance with the provisions of section four  hundred  fourteen  of
     3  this  chapter. Such plan shall set forth a reasonable system of fees not
     4  to  exceed  the  actual  costs and specify that no part of any fee shall

    17  district,  when  not  in use for school purposes, in accordance with the

    18  provisions of section four hundred fourteen of this chapter.  Such  plan
    19  shall  set  forth  a  reasonable system of fees not to exceed the actual
    20  costs and specify that no part of any fee shall directly  or  indirectly
    21  benefit  or  be deposited into an account which inures to the benefit of
    22  the custodians  or  custodial  engineers.    Notwithstanding  any  other
    23  provision  of  law,  rule  or  regulation to the contrary, such plan may
    24  provide that either no fee or a minimal fee shall be charged for the use
    25  of school facilities by a not-for-profit or charitable organization. The
    26  use of such facilities shall only be for bona fide after-school programs
    27  that present some form of educational instruction or academic  material,
    28  or promote physical education.
