REPORTED REFERRED TO RULES

Summary of Bill A 11393 (2025-2026) – New York

Purpose and intent

The bill extends the effectiveness and (presumably) continuation or reauthorization of the state charter advisory board. The exact mechanism—whether it renews, prolongs, or broadens the board’s mandate—is indicated by the language that preserves or extends the board’s existence and activities, ensuring continued guidance on charter schools within New York.

Key provisions and changes

Extends the duration or authority of the state charter advisory board beyond its current expiration or renewal window.

Maintains the board’s structure, powers, duties, and responsibilities related to advising on charter school policy, oversight, and related regulatory matters, subject to any specified amendments in the bill.

Any changes to appointment processes, membership composition, meeting requirements, or reporting obligations would be specified in the bill text (noted by the bill’s intent to extend rather than overhaul the board). If applicable, it may include updates to how often the board must report to the legislature or the governor, and standard operating requirements.

Who or what would be affected

The state charter advisory board itself (its continued existence and functioning).

Charter schools and their governance bodies, as they rely on the board for guidance, evaluation, and advisory input.

State agencies involved in charter school authorization, regulation, and oversight that interact with or rely on the advisory board’s recommendations.

Legislative and executive branches that monitor charter school policy and implementation.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Recent action history:

May 15, 2026: Referred to Banks
May 18, 2026: Referred to Rules

These referrals indicate the bill is moving through committee stages, potentially progressing from standing committees (Banks, likely Banking or Education-related committees, depending on NY nomenclature) to Rules for floor consideration.

The bill’s effective date, sunset extensions, and any required phase-in or transitional provisions would be specified in the text; typical extensions include immediate effect upon enactment or a defined effective date, with ongoing operations subject to budgetary or statutory alignment.
