 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2031

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 15, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. MURRAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the effect of failed
 propositions on voter approval for remaining propositions not collec-
 tively exceeding the tax levy limit

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 9 of section 2023-a of the education law, as
 2 added by section 2 of part A of chapter 97 of the laws of 2011, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 9. Nothing in this section shall preclude the trustee, trustees, or
 5 board of education of a school district, in their discretion, from
 6 submitting additional items of expenditures to the voters for approval
 7 as separate propositions or the voters from submitting propositions
 8 pursuant to sections two thousand eight and two thousand thirty-five of
 9 this part; provided however, except in the case of a proposition submit-
 10 ted for any expenditure contained within subparagraphs (i) through (iv)
 11 of paragraph i of subdivision two of this section, if any proposition,
 12 or propositions collectively that are subject to a vote on the same
 13 date, would require an expenditure of money that would require a tax
 14 levy and would result in the tax levy limit being exceeded for the
 15 corresponding school year then such proposition shall be approved if
 16 sixty percent of the votes cast thereon are in the affirmative. In the
 17 event that the trustee, trustees, or board of education of a school
 18 district or the voters submit additional items of expenditure for
 19 approval as a separate proposition or propositions and such separate
 20 proposition or propositions collectively with the budget exceed the tax
 21 levy limit, the budget shall be approved if a majority of the votes cast
 22 thereon are in the affirmative and if the budget, without the separate
 23 proposition or propositions, does not exceed the tax levy limit.
 24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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