Relates to reimbursement for studies for districts subject to reorganization

This bill requires New York school districts to be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred when conducting studies mandated by the education department for reorganization approvals. It directly affects school districts undergoing mergers, consolidations, or annexations that qualify for state aid under existing law. The key provision mandates reimbursement for these required studies, with the funding condition dependent on a state appropriation being made. If no appropriation exists at the bill's effective date, reimbursement begins 45 days after funding is secured.
