 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 12, 2025
 ___________

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

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to reporting requirements
 regarding financial expenditures related to certain teacher discipli-
 nary proceedings

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "3020-a arbitration process reporting act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and declaration of purpose. It is in the
 4 public interest to ensure transparency and accountability in the finan-
 5 cial expenditures of school districts in cities with a population
 6 exceeding 250,000 that have a collective bargaining agreement. The
 7 3020-a arbitration process, as established under section 3020-a of the
 8 education law, involves significant financial expenditures that should
 9 be disclosed to ensure responsible fiscal management. The citizens and
 10 elected officials of such cities have a right to be informed about the
 11 financial aspects of the 3020-a arbitration process to promote public
 12 trust and informed decision-making. Further, detailed financial report-
 13 ing can help identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for
 14 reform in the arbitration process and transparency in the arbitration
 15 process can contribute to better labor relations and more effective
 16 governance.
 17 § 3. The education law is amended by adding a new section 3020-b to
 18 read as follows:
 19 § 3020-b. Arbitration process reporting. 1. Any city school district
 20 in a city with a population exceeding two hundred fifty thousand that
 21 has a collective bargaining agreement shall prepare an annual itemized
 22 financial report on the arbitration process established pursuant to
 23 section three thousand twenty-a of this article.
 24 2. Such report shall include, but not be limited to:

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