Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to recovery of excess payments to county vocational education and extension boards
Purpose
This bill adjusts certain state aid payments to county vocational education and extension boards (CVEEB) so that state aid overpayments may be deducted from future state aid payments made over a period of three years.
Summary of specific provisions
Subdivision 2 of section 1104 of the chapter 53 of the laws of 1990 is amended to allow CVEEB's upon notification of excess payments of aid for which a recovery must be made by the state to make such payments over a three year period. Such payments must be made in the school year of which notification was received as well as the two successive years.
Justification
Requiring CVEEBs to make payment directly back to the state in one collective sum would place extreme fiscal strain upon them. Allowing repayment from the CVEEBs by reducing future state aid payments over the next three years will allow them to better shoulder this financial burden in a more appropriate manner and, thereby allow them to maintain its standards of education and training Many school districts have sought similar legislation allowing them to make payments over a period of three years, this legislation only seeks parity to allow CVEEBs the opportunity to make three installments when an overpayment is made and payback is statutorily necessary.
Fiscal implications
None to the State.
Effective date
Immediately.
