          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Paragraph c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the  educa-
     2  tion law, as added by chapter 82 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read
     3  as follows:
     4    c.  Payment of moneys due for prior years.  (i) State aid payments due
     5  for prior years in accordance with the provisions  of  this  subdivision
     6  shall  be paid within the limit of the appropriation designated therefor
     7  provided, however, that each eligible claim  shall  be  payable  in  the
     8  order  that it has been approved for payment by the commissioner, but in
     9  no case shall a single claim draw down more than forty  percent  of  the
    10  appropriation so designated for a single year, and provided further that
    11  no  claim  shall  be  set  aside  for  insufficiency  of funds to make a
    12  complete payment, but shall be eligible for a  partial  payment  in  one
    13  year and shall retain its priority date status for appropriations desig-
    14  nated for such purposes in future years.
    15    (ii)  Notwithstanding  subparagraph  (i)  of this paragraph, all funds
    16  obtained as the result of any settlement with the office of the attorney
    17  general shall be applied to payment of money due to school districts for
    18  prior years after the distribution of funds  necessary  to  fulfill  the
    19  obligations  of  the  office  of  the  attorney  general, but before any
    20  remaining funds shall be apportioned to the general fund.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
