Purpose
To provide a listing of all costs associated with proposals put forth by the board of regents
Summary of provisions
Section 207 of the education law defines the legislative power that the board of regents can exercise including establishment of rules. This section also defines those bodies that are exempt from those legislative powers.
A new paragraph is added to ensure that any resolution that alters or amends the rules or regulations set by the regents shall provide the following information:
* Those entities that expected to be affected by increase in costs proposed; * Source of income to pay for increases, whether it be from the general fund or other funds; * Identify type of tax increase necessary to fund proposal * If increase in tax is to come from local property taxes, list expected increase by school district * If combination of funds are to be used, information regarding costs shall be provided by the regents
Justification
This bill would enhance the accountability and transparency citizens of New York State have come to expect from governmental agencies. A listing of increased costs should be provided for public view.
