AN ACT to validate certain acts of the Islip Union Free school district
with regard to certain capital improvement projects
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 Islip Union Free school district approved eight capital improvement
3 projects which are designated as project numbers 0003-12, 0011-007,
4 0011-008, 0003-013, 0007-009, 0007-010, 0007-012, and 0011-009. In
5 addition, the projects were eligible for certain state aid. The legisla-
6 ture further finds that due to ministerial error, the required filing of
7 the final cost reports for such projects were not made by such district
8 in a timely manner making the district ineligible for certain aid. The
9 legislature further finds that without such aid, the capital improvement
10 projects will impose an additional, unanticipated hardship on district
11 taxpayers.
12 § 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore had and taken or
13 caused to be had or taken by the Islip Union Free school district and by
14 all its officers or agents relating to or in connection with a certain
15 final cost report to be filed with the state education department for
16 project numbers 0003-12, 0011-007, 0011-008, 0003-013, 0007-009,
17 0007-010, 0007-012, and 0011-009, and all acts incidental thereto are
18 hereby legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed, notwithstanding any
19 failure to comply with the approval and filing provisions of the educa-
20 tion law or any other law or any other statutory authority, rule or
21 regulation, in relation to any omissions, error, defect, irregularity or
22 illegality in such proceedings had and taken, and provided further that
23 any amount due and payable to the Islip Union Free school district for
24 school years prior to the 2015-2016 school year as a result of this act
