 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 May 22, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. MAGNARELLI -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing certain
 school districts and their municipalities to authorize a one-time
 annual increase to the amount of school district expenditures funded
 by city funds to be excluded from certain calculations

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph b of subdivision 5-b of section 2576 of the
 2 education law, as added by section 9 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws
 3 of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
 4 b. The city amount shall not be less than the city amount appropriated
 5 in the base year determined at the time of adoption of the budget for
 6 the ensuing fiscal year, and shall not be less than the city amount
 7 expended in the base year determined as of the end of the school year.
 8 Provided, however, in the event the total amount of city funds relied
 9 upon to balance such budget is lower than the total amount of city funds
 10 appropriated in the base year, as determined at the time of adoption of
 11 such budget, the city amount may be reduced by up to the same percentage
 12 as the overall percentage decrease in city funds between the base year
 13 and the ensuing fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of law
 14 to the contrary, a school district and such school district's respective
 15 municipality may sign a memorandum of understanding to authorize a one-
 16 time annual increase in the city amount to be excluded from the mainte-
 17 nance of effort calculation. Such memorandum of understanding shall be
 18 adopted prior to the appropriation or transfer of such funds to the
 19 school district.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
