BILL NUMBER:S3146
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the performance of municipal cooperative activities
Purpose
To allow school districts to enter into municipal cooperative agreements.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends section 119-0 of the General Municipal Law to include school districts in the types of corporations and districts which can enter into shared services agreements.
Justification
This legislation will give school districts more flexibility in providing non-education services more efficiently by working in cooperation with municipal governments. Many municipalities have entered into shared services throughout New York state and have saved taxpayers millions of dollars. These agreements have allowed the municipalities to provide services to residents at a much lower cost and thus, decreasing the cost which gets passed on to taxpayers. By including school districts in these agreements, both municipalities and the districts will be able to take advantage of further savings.
