        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to providing students  an

          closure
 
          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 208-b
     2  to read as follows:
     3    § 208-b. Alternative regents exam testing days due to school  closure.
     4  Any  school district that is closed due to an emergency during a regents
     5  examination period is required to provide any student qualified to  take
     6  such  exam  as  set forth in 8 NYCRR 8.2 an opportunity to take the exam
     7  missed within thirty days from the date of the original examination. The
     8  board of regents shall select the date for the regents exams and  notify
     9  school districts of the make-up date and locations. For purposes of this
    10  section, "emergency" shall be defined as a situation that poses an imme-
    11  diate risk to health, life, or property that causes a school district to
    12  close.

    13    §  2.  This  act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, the
    14  addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule  or  regulation  necessary
    15  for  the implementation of this act on its effective date is directed to
    16  be made and completed on or before such effective date.
