 Introduced by Sen. MAYER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 3-a of section 3651 of the education law, as

 11 reserve fund shall be established only by a majority vote of the quali-
 12 fied voters of the district.
 13 3-a. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision three of this
 14 section, any school district which establishes a reserve fund in accord-
 15 ance with subdivision one-a or one-c of this section may make expendi-
 16 tures from such fund for the purposes specified in such subdivision
 17 without authorization of the voters.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 19 the date on which it shall have become a law.
