                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by M. of A. WALTER -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Education
 
        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the effect of mandates
          on school districts
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The education law is amended by adding a new section  308-a
     2  to read as follows:
     3    §  308-a.  Special  provisions;  mandates. 1. As used in this section,
     4  "mandate" means (a) any state law, rule or regulation  which  creates  a
     5  new  program  or  requires  a  higher  level  of service for an existing
     6  program which a school district, organized either  by  special  laws  or
     7  pursuant to the provisions of a general law, is required to provide, or
     8    (b)  any  general  law  which  grants  a new property tax exemption or
     9  increases an existing property  tax  exemption  which  any  such  school
    10  district is required to provide.
    11    2.  In  the  event  that  a mandate which imposes a cost upon a school
    12  district is created after the adoption of a school budget, such  mandate
    13  shall  not be implemented until the following year for which such school
    14  budget was adopted.
    15    3. Notwithstanding subdivision two of this section, such a mandate can
    16  be imposed if:
    17    (a) The mandate is provided at the option of the school district under
    18  a law, regulation, rule or order that is permissive rather than mandato-
    19  ry;
    20    (b) The mandate is required by, or arises from, an executive order  of
    21  the governor exercising his or her emergency powers; or
    22    (c)  The mandate is required by statute or executive order that imple-
    23  ments a federal law or regulation and results from costs mandated by the
    24  federal government to be borne at the local level, unless the statute or
    25  executive order imposes costs which exceed the  costs  mandated  by  the
    26  federal government.
    27    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD06350-01-5
