 AN  ACT  to amend the education law, in relation to the effect of failed
   propositions on voter approval for remaining propositions not  collec-
   tively exceeding the tax levy limit
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 9 of section 2023-a of the  education  law,  as
 added  by  section  2  of  part  A of chapter 97 of the laws of 2011, is
 amended to read as follows:
   9. Nothing in this section shall preclude the  trustee,  trustees,  or
 board  of  education  of  a  school  district, in their discretion, from
 submitting additional items of expenditures to the voters  for  approval
 as  separate  propositions  or  the  voters from submitting propositions
 pursuant to sections two thousand eight and two thousand thirty-five  of
 this part; provided however, except in the case of a proposition submit-
 ted  for any expenditure contained within subparagraphs (i) through (iv)
 of paragraph i of subdivision two of this section, if  any  proposition,
 or  propositions  collectively  that  are  subject to a vote on the same
 date, would require an expenditure of money that  would  require  a  tax
 levy  and  would  result  in  the  tax levy limit being exceeded for the
 corresponding school year then such proposition  shall  be  approved  if
 sixty  percent of the votes cast thereon are in the affirmative.  IN THE
 EVENT THAT THE TRUSTEE, TRUSTEES, OR BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  OF  A  SCHOOL
 DISTRICT  OR  THE  VOTERS  SUBMIT  ADDITIONAL  ITEMS  OF EXPENDITURE FOR
 APPROVAL AS A SEPARATE PROPOSITION OR  PROPOSITIONS  AND  SUCH  SEPARATE
 PROPOSITION  OR PROPOSITIONS COLLECTIVELY WITH THE BUDGET EXCEED THE TAX
 LEVY LIMIT, THE BUDGET SHALL BE APPROVED IF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST
 THEREON ARE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AND IF THE BUDGET, WITHOUT  THE  SEPARATE
 PROPOSITION OR PROPOSITIONS, DOES NOT EXCEED THE TAX LEVY LIMIT.
