Bill > A08620

This bill modifies a previous law from 2022 that authorizes the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) to transfer certain unappropriated state land to KIPP: Albany Community Public Charter Schools. The bill changes two key provisions: first, it extends the timeline for land transfer by allowing the transfer to be made after KIPP submits its application to OGS and before the act expires, removing the previous one-year transfer requirement; second, it extends the overall effectiveness of the original act from 3 to 4 years. Specifically, KIPP must submit its application within two years of the original act's effective date, and the land transfer must occur after the application is submitted but before the act's expiration. This modification provides more flexibility for KIPP in the land transfer process while maintaining the original intent of facilitating the transfer of state land to the charter school.
