          -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education
 
        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the tuition  methodol-

     4    (i)  The  tuition methodology established pursuant to this subdivision
     5  for the two thousand twenty-one--two  thousand  twenty-two  school  year
     6  shall  authorize approved private residential or non-residential schools
     7  for the education of students with disabilities that are located  within
     8  the state, and special act school districts to retain funds prior to the

    17  school year from which the funds are to be retained; provided  that  the
    18  total  accumulated  balance  that  may be retained shall not exceed four
    19  percent of such total costs for such school year; and  provided  further
    20  that  such  funds  shall [not] be [recoverable on] retained prior to the
    21  application of reconciliation of tuition rates, and  shall  be  separate
    22  from  and in addition to any other authorization to retain surplus funds
    23  on reconciliation.
    24    (ii) The tuition methodology established pursuant to this  subdivision
    25  for  the  two thousand twenty-two--two thousand twenty-three school year
    26  and annually thereafter shall authorize  approved  providers  to  retain
    27  funds  prior  to  the  application of reconciliation, including, but not
    28  limited to, the application of non-direct care and total  cost  screens,
