BILL NUMBER:S5137
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the repair reserve funds for municipal corporations, school districts, board of cooperative educational services, district corporations and improvement districts
Purpose or general idea of bill
To extend the authority to establish a repair reserve fund to boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES).
Summary of specific provisions
The bill would amend Section 6-d of the General Municipal Law to extend the authority to establish a repair reserve fund to BOCES which already exists for municipal corporations, school districts, district corporations and improvement districts.
Justification
BOCES, as a municipal entity, must maintain property and buildings in the same way as a school district does. While school districts have the authority to establish repair reserve funds, current law does not extend this authority to BOCES. This bill would address this problem by extending this authority to BOCES.
