 Introduced by M. of A. BURROUGHS -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to removing the board of
 trustees of the state university of New York as a charter entity for
 purposes of the charter school approval process

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 2851 of the education law, as
 2 amended by chapter 101 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 3. An applicant shall submit the application to a charter entity for
 5 approval. For purposes of this article, a charter entity shall be:
 6 (a) The board of education of a school district eligible for an appor-
 7 tionment of aid under subdivision four of section thirty-six hundred two
 8 of this chapter, provided that a board of education shall not approve an
 9 application for a school to be operated outside the school district's
 10 geographic boundaries and further provided that in a city having a popu-
 11 lation of one million or more, the chancellor of any such city school
 12 district shall be the charter entity established by this paragraph; or
 13 (b) [The board of trustees of the state university of New York; or
 14 (c)] The board of regents.
 15 The board of regents shall be the only entity authorized to issue a
 16 charter pursuant to this article. Notwithstanding any provision of this
 17 subdivision to the contrary, an application for the conversion of an
 18 existing public school to a charter school shall be submitted to, and
 19 may only be approved by, the charter entity set forth in paragraph (a)
 20 of this subdivision. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the
 21 contrary, any such application for conversion shall be consistent with
 22 this section but shall not be subject to the process pursuant to subdi-
 23 vision nine-a of section twenty-eight hundred fifty-two of this article,
 24 and the charter entity shall require that the parents or guardians of a
 25 majority of the students then enrolled in the existing public school
 26 vote in favor of converting the school to a charter school.

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