S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2115 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 13, 2011 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. McENENY, GALEF, ENGLEBRIGHT, CLARK -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to state assistance to school districts for each school age child receiving special education programs and services THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature finds that the costs to school districts and, indirectly, to real property tax payers for providing special education programs and services is increas- ingly a burden making the essential educational mission more difficult to carry out. The legislature further finds that special education is a health based service and should more appropriately be borne by the state government. Therefore, it is the purpose of this act to phase-in over five years the assumption by the state of the costs to school districts for each child receiving special education programs and services and to provide that school property taxes be reduced accordingly. S 2. Section 3602 of the education law is amended by adding a new subdivision 21 to read as follows: 21. SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL APPORTIONMENT FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN RECEIV- ING SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. A. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL RECEIVE A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL APPORTIONMENT FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BEGINNING JULY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWELVE AND THEREAFTER AS PROVIDED HEREIN. AS USED IN THIS SUBDIVISION, THE BASE YEAR APPORTIONMENT SHALL BE THE AMOUNT PAYABLE FOR EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT'S CLAIMS FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINNING JULY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINNING JULY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWELVE, EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL RECEIVE THEIR BASE YEAR APPORTIONMENT PLUS NOT LESS THAN TWENTY PERCENT OF THE DIFFERENCE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
