Bill > S00718

This bill legalizes and validates certain transportation contracts for the Hicksville Union Free School District for the 2022-23 school year, specifically contracts numbered C577695, C577697, C577698, and C577700. The bill retroactively confirms all actions and proceedings related to these contracts, even if they did not fully comply with standard contract advertisement provisions in education law, municipal law, or other statutory regulations. Essentially, this is a legal "clean-up" measure that protects the school district from potential legal challenges due to technical or procedural irregularities in how these transportation contracts were handled. The bill will go into effect 30 days after becoming law, which means it provides retroactive validation of the district's contracting process while ensuring future compliance with filing requirements. Such bills are not uncommon when local government entities need to rectify administrative oversights in their procurement processes.
