AN ACT directing the education department to issue certain state aid to
the Central Islip union free school district for certain capital
construction 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 Central Islip Union Free School District approved several capital
3 improvement projects which were designated by the State Education
4 Department as project numbers 0002-006, 0003-008, 0005-007, 0006-005,
5 0007-006, 0008-007 and 0004-005. In addition, the projects were eligi-
6 ble for certain state aid. The legislature further finds that due to
7 ministerial error, required filings for eligibility for such aid were
8 not made by the district in a timely manner making the district ineligi-
9 ble for certain aid. The legislature further finds that without such
10 aid, the capital improvement projects will impose an additional, unan-
11 ticipated 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 Central Islip Union Free 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 0002-006, 0003-008, 0005-007, 0006-005,
17 0007-006, 0008-007 and 0004-005, 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
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
