AN ACT in relation to legalizing, validating, ratifying and confirming
actions of the Belleville Henderson central school district with
respect to certain building aid contracts
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 Belleville Henderson central school district approved several capital
3 improvement projects which were designated by the state education
4 department as project numbers 22-09-09-04-0-010-006 and
5 22-09-09-04-0-010-005. In addition, the projects were eligible for
6 certain state aid. The legislature further finds that due to ministerial
7 error, a required filing for eligibility for such aid was not made by
8 the district in a timely manner making the district ineligible for
9 certain aid. The legislature further finds that without such aid, the
10 capital improvement projects will impose an additional, unanticipated
11 hardship on district taxpayers.
12 § 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
13 caused to be had and taken by the Belleville Henderson central school
14 district and by all its officers or agents relating to or in connection
15 with certain final cost reports to be filed with the state education
16 department for projects 22-09-09-04-0-010-006 and 22-09-09-04-0-010-005,
17 and all acts incidental thereto are hereby legalized, validated, rati-
18 fied and confirmed, notwithstanding any failure to comply with the
19 approval and filing provisions of the education law or any other law or
20 any other statutory authority, rule or regulation, in relation to any
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
