 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 1318 of the real property tax law,

   1.  The warrant of the collecting officer shall be signed by the trus-

 surplus  funds  in the custody of the board and shall further state that
 except as authorized or required by law, such unexpended  surplus  funds
 have  been applied in determining the amount of the school tax levy. For
 the two thousand seven--two thousand eight school year, surplus funds as
 used in this subdivision shall mean any operating  funds  in  excess  of
 three  percent  of the current school year budget, and shall not include
