  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,

reports  required to be filed with the education department for approved
building projects completed prior to December 31,  2012,  and  all  acts
incidental   thereto  are  hereby  legalized,  validated,  ratified  and
confirmed, notwithstanding any failure to comply with the time  require-
ments for the approval and filing provisions of the education law or any
other  provision  of law, rule or regulation, relating to any omissions,
error, defect, irregularity or illegality in such  proceedings  had  and
taken,  and  provided  further  that  any amount due and payable to such
school district for school years prior to the 2012-2013 school year as a
result of this act shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the education law,  provided  that
such school district:
  (a)  submitted  the  late or missing final building cost report to the
commissioner of education on or before December 31, 2012;
  (b) such cost report is approved by the commissioner of education;
  (c) all state funds expended by the school district, as documented  in
such  cost  report,  were properly expended for such building project in
accordance with the terms and conditions for such project as approved by
the commissioner of education; and
  (d) the failure to submit such report in a timely manner was an  inad-
vertent  administrative or ministerial oversight by the school district,
and there is no evidence of any fraudulent or other improper  intent  by
such district.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
