        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to  legislative  approval
          of  all policy adopted by the board of regents that would have a cumu-
          lative impact of over one million dollars statewide
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Section  207  of  the education law is amended to read as
     2  follows:
     3    § 207. Legislative power.  Subject and in conformity to the  constitu-
     4  tion and laws of the state, the regents shall exercise legislative func-
     5  tions  concerning  the  educational  system  of the state, determine its
     6  educational policies, and, except, as to the judicial functions  of  the
     7  commissioner  of education, establish rules for carrying into effect the
     8  laws and policies of the state, relating to  education,  and  the  func-
     9  tions, powers, duties and trusts conferred or charged upon the universi-
    10  ty  and the education department.  But no enactment of the regents shall
    11  modify in any degree the freedom of the governing body of  any  seminary
    12  for  the  training of priests or clergymen to determine and regulate the
    13  entire course of religious, doctrinal or theological instruction  to  be
    14  given  in  such institution.  No rule by which more than a majority vote
    15  shall be required for any specified  action  by  the  regents  shall  be
    16  amended,  suspended or repealed by a smaller vote than that required for
    17  action thereunder.  Rules or regulations, or amendments or repeals ther-
    18  eof, adopted  or  prescribed  by  the  commissioner  [of  education]  as
    19  provided  by law shall not be effective unless and until approved by the
    20  regents, except where authority is conferred by  the  regents  upon  the
    21  commissioner  [of  education]  to adopt, prescribe, amend or repeal such
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD06690-01-7
        A. 2071                             2
 
     1  rules or regulations.   Prior to the adoption of  a  resolution  or  any
     2  alteration  of  amendment to the rules and regulations prescribed by the
     3  regents that may require a cumulative impact of over one million dollars
     4  statewide,  in  the  fiscal  year  of such adoption or any future fiscal
     5  year, a fiscal note shall be required which shall state  the  amount  in
     6  dollars  that shall be required to fulfill the provisions of such resol-
     7  ution or alteration or amendment to such  rules  and  regulations.  Such
     8  fiscal note shall be attached to and/or be part of any resolution by the
     9  regents amending or altering the rules and regulations. For the purposes
    10  of  the provision of this section, such fiscal note shall be approved by
    11  the commissioner, secured from the division of  budget  and  subject  to
    12  approval by the legislature.
    13    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
