This bill authorizes the city of Ithaca to implement a demonstration program using speed cameras in school zones to enforce speed limits and hold vehicle owners financially responsible for violations. The program would allow the city to install photo monitoring systems in up to twelve school zones, with strict rules requiring annual calibration, operator training, and advance public signage. Images captured by the cameras would generally not identify drivers or passengers and would be destroyed after legal cases are resolved, with limited exceptions for law enforcement investigations. The authorization for this demonstration program would expire on December 31, 2030.
Extends the deadline for reduction in class size under contracts for excellence in a city school district in a city having a population of one million or more inhabitants.

Extends certain provisions of law relating to requiring regulations to permit tuition waivers for certain firefighters and fire officers for CUNY until July 1, 2028.
This bill extends tuition waivers for police officer students attending the City University of New York until July 1, 2028. The change directly affects current and future police recruits who are enrolled in CUNY programs, allowing them to continue receiving financial support for their education. By amending existing state laws, the legislation ensures that these educational benefits remain in place for an additional two years beyond the previous expiration date. The measure is a straightforward policy adjustment that does not alter the eligibility criteria for the waivers, only their duration.
Implements an agreement between the state and an employee organization; provides for the adjustment of salaries of certain incumbents in the professional service in the state university; makes an appropriation for the purpose of effectuating certain provisions thereof.
This bill authorizes the New York State Dormitory Authority to provide financing for the construction of a school building for Yeshiva Ohr Yoseph in Brooklyn. The legislation allows the religious institution, which is a private, non-profit organization, to use these funds to acquire and equip a facility located at 1128 36th Street. By amending the Public Authorities Law, the bill enables the school to secure the necessary capital for this specific project without changing general state funding rules.
Increases the amount of credit to be certified under the federal public service loan forgiveness program for faculty or teachers to five hours worked for each hour of lecture or classroom time.
Permits the establishment of reserve funds for unanticipated costs relating to special education, provided that the amount in such fund shall not exceed four percent of the district's current school year budget.
This bill makes permanent a 2012 law allowing New York's Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to provide educational services to school districts in other states. It removes the existing expiration date (July 1, 2029) that would have ended this authority, ensuring the service model continues indefinitely. The change directly affects BOCES organizations and out-of-state school districts that currently partner with them for shared educational resources. The key provision is simply extending the existing framework without time limits.
