BILL NUMBER:S1287 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the performance of municipal cooperative activities PURPOSE: To allow school districts to enter into municipal cooperative agreements. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends section 119-o of the General Municipal Law to include school districts in the types of corporations and districts which can enter into shared services agreements. JUSTIFICATION: This legislation will give school districts more flexi- bility in providing non-education services more efficiently by working in cooperation with municipal governments. Many municipalities have entered into shared services throughout New York state and have saved taxpayers millions of dollars. These agreements have allowed the munici- palities to provide services to residents at a much lower cost and thus, decreasing the cost which gets passed on to taxpayers. By including school districts in these agreements, both municipalities and the districts will be able to take advantage of further savings. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2011-12 S.3146: 2009-2010 S.1996: 2007-08. S.7946-A.
