  of the regents

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

  Section 1. Section 207 of the education law  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  S 207. Legislative  power. 1. Subject and in conformity to the consti-
tution and laws of the state, the  regents  shall  exercise  legislative
functions  concerning the educational system of the state, determine its
educational policies, and, except, as to the judicial functions  of  the
commissioner  [of  education],  establish rules for carrying into effect
the laws and policies of the state, relating to education, and the func-
tions, powers, duties and trusts conferred or charged upon the universi-
ty and the [education] department. But no enactment of the regents shall
modify in any degree the freedom of the governing body of  any  seminary
for  the  training of priests or clergymen to determine and regulate the
entire course of religious, doctrinal or theological instruction  to  be
given  in  such  institution. No rule by which more than a majority vote
shall be required for any specified  action  by  the  regents  shall  be
amended,  suspended or repealed by a smaller vote than that required for
action thereunder. Rules or regulations, or amendments or repeals there-
of, adopted or prescribed by the commissioner [of education] as provided
by law shall not be effective unless and until approved by the  regents,
except where authority is conferred by the regents upon the commissioner
[of  education] to adopt, prescribe, amend or repeal such rules or regu-
lations.
  2. ANY RESOLUTION THAT ALTERS OR AMENDS THE RULES  OR  REGULATIONS  AS
ESTABLISHED BY THE REGENTS SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD06724-01-1

S. 1806                             2

  A.  THE  ENTITY  AND/OR  THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BEAR THE
BURDEN OF ANY INCREASE IN COST THAT SUCH ALTERED  OR  AMENDED  RULES  OR
REGULATIONS MAY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AFFECT.
  B.  THE  EXACT  SOURCE OR SOURCES FROM WHICH THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR SUCH
INCREASE IN COST SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE. IF THE FUNDS ARE  EXPECTED  TO
COME FROM THE STATE GENERAL FUND THEN THE REGENTS SHALL IDENTIFY SPECIF-
ICALLY  WHAT  OTHER  STATE  FUNDING  SHALL  BE  REDUCED  TO PAY FOR SUCH
INCREASE IN COST. IF THE FUNDS ARE  EXPECTED  TO  COME  FROM  THE  STATE
GENERAL  FUND AS A RESULT OF AN INCREASE IN TAXES THEN THE REGENTS SHALL
IDENTIFY THE TYPE AND THE AMOUNT OF TAX INCREASE NECESSARY TO FULLY FUND
SUCH INCREASE IN COST.
  C. IF THE REGENTS DETERMINE THAT SUCH INCREASE IN COST IS TO  BE  PAID
FROM LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES, THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN COST FOR EACH SCHOOL
DISTRICT AFFECTED BY SUCH ALTERED OR AMENDED RULES OR REGULATIONS.
  D.  IF  SOME  COMBINATION OF REALLOCATED STATE FUNDS, NEW OR INCREASED
TAXES OR LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES ARE TO BE USED TO FUND  SUCH  INCREASE  IN
COST,  THE  REGENTS  SHALL PROVIDE THE INFORMATION AS SET FORTH IN PARA-
GRAPHS A, B AND C OF THIS SUBDIVISION AS THEY PROPORTIONATELY AFFECT THE
TOTAL INCREASE IN COSTS UPON THE ADOPTION OF SUCH RULES OR REGULATIONS.
