SPONSOR: PALUMBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the education law, in relation to providing that a
school bond resolution vote shall take place in conjunction with the
school budget vote
 
PURPOSE:
To provide that a school district.vote on a bond resolution vote shall
take place on the third Tuesday in May in conjunction with the school
budget vote.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section heading and subdivision 1 of section 2022 of the education law
are amended to include votes on bond resolutions. Furthermore, subdivi-
sion 1-a is added to limit the number of times a bond resolution may be
resubmitted to voters.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
There is a cost associated with putting up a school bond issue vote and
being cognizant of that fact, school districts should submit bond issue
votes in conjunction with school budget votes. Also, school budget votes
can only be resubmitted one time. It is therefore appropriate that the
school bond issue votes be limited to one resubmission.
