 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 6, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. LUNSFORD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to excepting certain
 crimes committed by certain school educators from the three-year
 window to bring charges

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 8 of section 2573 of the education law, as
 2 amended by chapter 915 of the laws of 1963 and as renumbered by chapter
 3 717 of the laws of 1970, is amended to read as follows:
 4 8. No charges under this section shall be brought more than three
 5 years after the occurrence of the alleged incompetency or misconduct
 6 except where the charge is of misconduct which resulted in conviction
 7 for a crime. This subdivision shall not apply to alleged misconduct that
 8 would have constituted a violation of articles one hundred thirty, two
 9 hundred sixty, or two hundred sixty-three of the penal law or misconduct
 10 that would have made any district named under section twenty-five
 11 hundred fifty of this article liable under the child victims act or the
 12 adult survivors act, in which case proof of a conviction shall not be
 13 required for the purposes of bringing charges.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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