BILL NUMBER:A8287A
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to permitting municipalities to recover costs associated with audits of preschool providers
Purpose/summary of provisions
The State Education Department acknowledges that they are unable to audit preschool providers to verify reported costs, and have allowed counties to conduct the fiscal audits required to verify costs, and submit the audit reports to SED. The bill authorizes The State Education Department to permit Suffolk County to deduct 1005k of the cost of an audit from the State share when funds are recovered as a result of a Preschool audit.
Justification
Suffolk County Department of Audit and Control's audits of preschool providers presents an opportunity for New York State and for the County of Suffolk to recover funds already expended to preschool providers. The costs associated with conducting the audit should be netted against the State's share of recovered costs.
Fiscal implications for state and local governments
One past audit alone recovered over $1 million dollars in disallowed tuition costs from a single preschool provider. There are over 50 providers with tuition based programs.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately
