 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to reimbursement for
 nonpublic school safety equipment grants

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

 1 Section 1. Section 305 of the education law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 63 to read as follows:
 3 63. a. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, any
 4 reimbursement payable to a nonpublic school for nonpublic school safety
 5 equipment grants administered by the commissioner shall be paid within
 6 twelve months of the nonpublic school furnishing all required applica-
 7 tion materials for such grant to the department.
 8 b. The commissioner, in conjunction with the office of religious and
 9 independent schools, shall biannually report upon any reimbursements
 10 payable pursuant to paragraph a of this subdivision that have not been
 11 paid within twelve months of the nonpublic school furnishing all
 12 required application materials for such grant to the department. Such
 13 report shall include, but not be limited to the following information:
 14 the name of the school that has not been reimbursed, the current
 15 outstanding reimbursement amount, and the original date on which the
 16 nonpublic school furnished all required application materials for such
 17 grant to the department, provided that if the nonpublic school submitted
 18 application materials over multiple dates, the department shall report
 19 only the date on which the final required materials were received by the
 20 department. Such report shall be delivered to the governor, the comp-
 21 troller, the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the
 22 assembly, the chair of the senate education committee, and the chair of
 23 the assembly education committee by May first and November first of each
 24 year.
 25 c. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to apply to any
 26 grant funding awarded on a competitive basis.
 27 § 2. This act shall take effect April 1, 2027.

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