BILL NUMBER:S6817
Title of bill
An act to amend the local finance law, in relation to bond anticipation notes issued during the calendar years 2010 and 2011
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation extends the rollover period for bond anticipation notes issued during calendar years 2010 and 2011 to not more than seven years beyond the original date of issue.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends subparagraph 2 of paragraph b of Section 23.00 of the Local Finance Law as amended by Chapter 264 of the Laws of 2012 to extend the rollover period from 2007 and 2008 to 2010 and 2011.
Section 2 of the bill is the effective date.
Justification
Currently, except for bond anticipation notes issued in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008, local governments are authorized to extend or roll over bond anticipation notes for only up to 5 years. At the end of the period, the bond anticipation notes must be retired or converted into long-term debt. This legislation, by extending the rollover period for bond anticipation notes issued during calendar years 2010 and 2011, will provide municipalities the option of renewing the notes at a later date when a better rate can be secured for the long-term. The bill will save costs to the municipality by providing the municipality with the option to secure a lower interest rate.
