BILL NUMBER: S6501 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the state smart growth public infrastructure criteria PURPOSE : To provide relief to school districts from the reporting requirements of the Smart Growth legislation. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1: Amends § 6-0107(1) of the environmental conservation law to eliminate compliance with the smart growth legislation adopted as Chapter 433 of the Laws of 2010. Ch. 433 L. 2010 Section 2: Sets forth an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION : Recent years have confronted school districts with unprecedented fiscal challenges. While the economic outlook for the State is steadily improving, it is a legislative priority to provide as much flexibility as possible to school districts to enable them to provide the high quality education we have come to expect for our students. While there are many requirements imposed on school districts that provide educational value, others continue to constrain the creativity of a district to provide services to students and relief to taxpayers.
