AN ACT to amend  the  education  law,  in  relation  to  charter  school
  locations in New York city

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision  3  of  section  2853  of  the
education  law, as amended by section 4 of part D-2 of chapter 57 of the
laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
  (a) A charter school may be located in  part  of  an  existing  public
school  building,  in space provided on a private work site, in a public
building or in any other suitable location. Provided, however, before  a
charter  school  may  be  located  in  part of an existing public school
building, the charter entity shall provide  notice  to  the  parents  or
guardians  of the students then enrolled in the existing school building
and shall hold a public hearing for purposes of discussing the  location
of  the  charter  school.  A  charter  school may own, lease or rent its
space. For purposes of local zoning, land use  regulation  and  building
code  compliance,  a  charter school shall be deemed a nonpublic school.
PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT BEFORE A CHARTER SCHOOL MAY  BE  LOCATED
IN  PART  OF  AN EXISTING SCHOOL BUILDING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, OR IN
ANY OTHER REAL PROPERTY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK,  THERE  SHALL  BE  FULL
COMPLIANCE  WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN-C OF
THE NEW YORK CITY CHARTER, RELATING TO UNIFORM LAND  USE  REVIEW  PROCE-
DURE,  OR  THE PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHER LOCAL LAW OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK
RELATING THERETO.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
