 bly, do enact as follows:

 3 laws of 1998, are amended to read as follows:
 4 (e) establish a process for monitoring all school buildings; [and]
 5 (f) require each school district to evaluate the capital needs of such
 6 school district for:
 7 (i) the presence and/or emission of greenhouse gases or other toxins
 8 impacts and for compliance with the New York state climate leadership
