Statewide Ballot Proposals    

There are 2 NYS Statewide Ballot Proposals. Abstracts for both are below or click here for the full Proposed Amendment.

FORM OF SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE, AN AMENDMENT

REMOVAL OF SMALL CITY SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM SPECIAL CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATION

The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 4 of the Constitution removes the special constitutional debt limitation now placed on small city school districts, so they will be treated the same as all other school districts. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?

ABSTRACT OF PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE, AN AMENDMENT

REMOVAL OF SMALL CITY SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM SPECIAL CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATION

This constitutional amendment removes the special debt limit for small city school districts. Debt limits would be established in state law for all school districts

A small city school district is one that includes at least part of a small city. A small city is a city with less than one hundred twenty-five thousand people.

The State Constitution limits how much debt a small city school district can incur. Their debt cannot be more than five percent of the value of taxable real estate in the district. There are exceptions for certain expenses. Other school districts are not subject to a constitutional debt restriction, but have a different debt limit provided by state law. State law says their debts cannot be greater than ten percent of the value of taxable real property. If this Constitutional Amendment passes, small city school districts would be eligible to have the same debt limit as other school districts enacted via legislative action.

EXTENDING SEWAGE PROJECT DEBT EXCLUSION FROM DEBT LIMIT

The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 5 of the Constitution extends for ten years the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to remove from their constitutional debt limits debt for the construction of sewage facilities. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?

ABSTRACT OF PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO, AN AMENDMENT

EXTENDING SEWAGE PROJECT DEBT EXCLUSION FROM DEBT LIMIT

The proposed amendment does this by changing section 5 of article 8 of the Constitution.
