Title of bill
An act to amend the local finance law, in relation to the sale of bonds and notes of the city of Buffalo
Purpose of the bill
This bill extends authorization for the private sale of bonds and notes of the City of Buffalo.
Summary of specific provisions
§ 1- Amends § 54.30 of the Local Finance Law to extend the provisions of this section from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017. This is simply a one year extender of existing law to allow the City of Buffalo to sell its bonds at private sale.
§ 2- Effective date.
Justification
The present law, which expires on June 30, 2016, has given the City of Buffalo a valuable tool to provide expeditious funds for projects which require immediate attention. Since this law has already proven its usefulness, an extension of one year would provide the City with enough financial flexibility to encounter any further needs in that time frame. This bill incorporates, by reference, the newly created Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority.
