Introduced by M. of A. GOODELL -- read once and referred to the Commit-
tee on Education
AN ACT to validate certain acts of the Fredonia central school district
with regard to a certain capital improvement project
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 Fredonia central school district approved a capital improvement project
3 which is designated project number 06-22-01-06-009-008. In addition, the
4 project was eligible for certain state aid. The legislature further
5 finds that due to ministerial error, the required filing of the final
6 cost report for such project was not made by such district in a timely
7 manner making the district ineligible for certain aid. The legislature
8 further finds that without such aid, the capital improvement project
9 will impose an additional, unanticipated hardship on district taxpayers.
10 § 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
11 caused to be had or taken by the Fredonia central school district and by
12 all its officers or agents relating to or in connection with a certain
13 final cost report to be filed with the state education department for
14 project 06-22-01-06-009-008, and all acts incidental thereto are hereby
15 legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any fail-
16 ure to comply with the approval and filing provisions of the education
17 law or any other law or any other statutory authority, rule or regu-
18 lation, in relation to any omissions, error, defect, irregularity or
19 illegality in such proceedings had and taken, and provided further that
20 any amount due and payable to the Fredonia central school district for
21 school years prior to the 2011-2012 school year as a result of this act
22 shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph c of subdivision 5
