MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A6882 SPONSOR: Mayer
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the apportionment of moneys for capital outlays and debt service for school building purposes   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation will amend the education law to allow certain high need districts to receive an additional supplemental building aid ratio for projects addressing capacity shortages.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 Subparagraph 2 of paragraph c of subdivision 6 of section 3602 of education law is amended by adding a new clause (d) which will allow that for school years 2017-18 and thereafter, school building projects designed to address capacity shortages of high-need school districts, as defined pursuant to regulations of the commissioner in clause (c) of this subparagraph and are in a designated county.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): This is a new bill.   JUSTIFICATION: More than 10 years ago, New York State recognized that high need school districts were struggling to support necessary school capital projects and permitted these districts to access an additional Building Aid reimbursement. Since such time, high need school districts in Westches- ter County have been confronted with both escalating local construction costs and significant student enrollment growth contributing to their limited ability to address capacity shortages for their current and future projections of increased student enrollment. This bill recognizes the pressing need for these districts to expand classroom space by help- ing to offset the local fiscal impact of facility projects designed to relive overcrowding where the shortages are ten percent or greater of the identified need as determined by the State Education Department.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: This will reduce costs for local school districts and the cost to the State is to be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
