Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the powers and duties of the dormitory authority of the state of New York
1. PURPOSE :
The bill would authorize the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York ("DASNY") to provide financing and construction services for public libraries chartered by the board of regents or incorporated under the Not-for-Profit Corporation law.
2. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 of the bill would amend the existing definition of "public library" in Public Authorities Law ("PAL") § 1676(32) to include any library chartered by the state board of regents or incorporated under the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law constituting a public library, an association library, or a free library as defined in Education Law
§ 253.
Section 2 of the bill would confirm that the bill would not affect those libraries defined as "public libraries" under the prior version of PAL § 1676(32), nor does it impair the validity of bonds previously issued by DASNY for any such library.
Section 3 of the bill would make it effective immediately.
3. JUSTIFICATION :
The bill would extend DASNY's financing and construction authorization to all libraries chartered by the board of regents or incorporated under the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, as opposed to only those libraries which obtain special legislation. Libraries continue to approach DASNY in increasing numbers in search of financing and construction management services, but DASNY can only offer assistance if legislation is enacted to add the library to those named in L.1993 c.672.
4. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
None.
5. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.
6. EFFECTIVE DATE : This Bill shall take effect immediately.
