Schools get longer financing for abuse claims

New York school districts and boards of cooperative educational services can finance eligible child sexual abuse case payments over up to 30 years. This includes school districts created by special acts of the Legislature. Eligible payments cover judgments, negotiated claims, and settlements resulting from court orders in cases brought under CPLR section 214-g. The law takes effect immediately and does not reduce amounts owed or provide new funding. Longer financing may ease near-term school budget pressure, but it does not guarantee lower household taxes.
