        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1. Paragraphs f and g of subdivision 10 of section 342 of the
     2  education law, are relettered paragraphs g and h and a new  paragraph  f
     3  is added to read as follows:
     4    f.  Subdivisions  one,  two, three, four and six of this section shall
     5  not apply to the ACT Assessment during the nineteen hundred  ninety-six-
     6  -ninety-seven  test  year  or  any  subsequent  test year so long as the
     7  College Entrance Examination Board discloses in each such testing year:
     8    (i) four test forms used to administer the ACT Assessment in New York,
     9  or
    10    (ii) if fewer than four regular  ACT  Assessment  administrations  are
    11  offered  in  New York during a test year, the same number of ACT Assess-
    12  ment forms as regular ACT Assessment administrations in New York in that
    13  test year.
    14    § 2. Paragraph h of subdivision 10 of section  342  of  the  education
    15  law,  as  added by chapter 714 of the laws of 1996, and as relettered by
    16  section one of this act, is amended to read as follows:
    17    h. For the purposes of this subdivision,  a  "regular"  administration

    22  or Saturday or otherwise), whether a makeup administration, an  adminis-
    23  tration  for Saturday Sabbath observers, or other special-purpose admin-
    24  istration, or any individual administration.
