AI Summary
This bill enacts major components of legislation necessary to implement the state education, labor, housing, and family assistance budget for the 2026-2027 state fiscal year, addressing various aspects of these sectors. Key provisions include adjustments to "contracts for excellence" (a program designed to improve student outcomes in schools with high needs), modifications to "foundation aid" (a primary source of state funding for school districts), and changes to how aid is distributed for "universal prekindergarten" (free preschool programs for all four-year-olds and some three-year-olds). The bill also extends the effectiveness of certain provisions related to the reorganization of New York City's school system, adjusts state aid based on specific conditions for districts, and revises funding for workforce education programs in New York City. Additionally, it introduces new requirements for evidence-based mathematics instruction in early grades, modifies eligibility for the New York Opportunity Promise Scholarship, clarifies certificate of residence policies for community colleges, and adjusts tuition rates for non-resident students at SUNY and CUNY. The legislation also expands eligibility for the Masters-in-Education Teacher Incentive Scholarship program to early childhood educators, establishes the New York State Music Grant Fund, updates child care provider registration and training requirements, increases standards for monthly needs for aged, blind, and disabled individuals living in the community, and utilizes reserves in the mortgage insurance fund for various housing purposes. Furthermore, it increases the maximum number of land banks that can exist in New York State, authorizes a tax abatement for alterations and improvements to multiple dwellings to preserve affordable housing, and creates a new crime of aggravated harassment of a rent-regulated tenant.
