AN ACT providing for the elimination of burdensome reporting require-
ments imposed on school districts and local governments
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any
2 provision of statute or regulation that requires a local government or
3 school district to submit a report to a state agency or authority shall
4 expire and be deemed repealed on April 1, 2013; provided, however, that
5 all provisions of such statutes and regulations other than such specific
6 reporting requirements shall be unaffected by the repeal of such report-
7 ing requirements and remain in full force and effect.
8 § 2. Every state agency and authority shall prepare and submit to the
9 mandate relief council, on or before December 31, 2012, a report that
10 identifies each report it receives from local governments and school
11 districts pursuant to statutory or regulatory requirements and, for each
12 such report, explains the agency's or authority's need for the report,
13 makes a recommendation to eliminate or continue the reporting require-
14 ment, and, where the recommendation is to continue the reporting
15 requirement, makes additional recommendations including but not limited
16 to the secure electronic transmission of data directly to state agencies
17 and authorities to reduce the burden the reporting requirement imposes
18 on local governments and school districts.
19 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
