BILL NUMBER:S3927
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law and the education law, in relation to exempting the costs associated with school safety plans from the real property tax levy limit; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
This legislation exempts the costs associated with school safety plans from the property tax cap levy limit
Summary of provisions
Amends paragraph (g) of subdivision 2 of section 3-c of the general municipal law by adding a new subparagraph (i-a) and paragraph (i) of subdivision 2 of section 2023-a of the education law to exempt the costs associated with school safety plans from the property tax cap levy limit.
Justification
New York State school districts are required to have district wide safety plans and emergency response plans. Many school districts have comprehensive security systems in place, but many would like to further enhance security in light of recent school tragedies.
School districts should not have to make a choice between increased security and school programs. Allowing them the financial latitude they need makes good sense. This legislation would exempt the costs associated with school safety plans from the property tax levy limit.
Legislative history

Fiscal implications

1. the amendments to section 3-c of the general municipal law made by section one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith; and
2. the amendments to section 2023-a of the education law made by section two of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
