BILL NUMBER: S173 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to bonds and notes of public authorities and public benefit corporations SUMMARY : This bill adds a new section 2881 to the public Authorities Law. The new section will provide that the bonding activities of public authorities and public benefit corporations would be restricted in order that no bond or note may be issued for a purpose with a probable life shorter than the contract life of the bond or note. JUSTIFICATION : The State constitution forbids the State from issuing bonds for purposes with an expected life shorter than the contract life of the bond itself. The purpose of this constitutional provision is to prevent the State from bonding out its operations costs. This bill would extend the same principal of fiscal soundness to all public authorities and public benefit corporations created by or pursuant to New York State law. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : No cost to the State.
