                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  Sen.  MURRAY -- 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 the effect  of  failed
          propositions  on voter approval for remaining propositions not collec-
          tively exceeding the tax levy limit

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  9 of section 2023-a of the education law, as
     2  added by section 2 of part A of chapter 97  of  the  laws  of  2011,  is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    9.  Nothing  in  this section shall preclude the trustee, trustees, or
     5  board of education of a  school  district,  in  their  discretion,  from
     6  submitting  additional  items of expenditures to the voters for approval
     7  as separate propositions or  the  voters  from  submitting  propositions
     8  pursuant  to sections two thousand eight and two thousand thirty-five of
     9  this part; provided however, except in the case of a proposition submit-
    10  ted for any expenditure contained within subparagraphs (i) through  (iv)
    11  of  paragraph  i of subdivision two of this section, if any proposition,
    12  or propositions collectively that are subject to  a  vote  on  the  same
    13  date,  would  require  an  expenditure of money that would require a tax
    14  levy and would result in the tax  levy  limit  being  exceeded  for  the
    15  corresponding  school  year  then  such proposition shall be approved if
    16  sixty percent of the votes cast thereon are in the affirmative.  In  the
    17  event  that  the  trustee,  trustees,  or board of education of a school
    18  district or the  voters  submit  additional  items  of  expenditure  for
    19  approval  as  a  separate  proposition or propositions and such separate
    20  proposition or propositions collectively with the budget exceed the  tax
    21  levy limit, the budget shall be approved if a majority of the votes cast
    22  thereon  are  in the affirmative and if the budget, without the separate
    23  proposition or propositions, does not exceed the tax levy limit.
    24    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
