2009-S5830 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5830

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the
construction and financing of facilities by the dormitory authority
for the InterAgency Council of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities Agencies, Inc.


 PURPOSE :
To authorize the NYS Dormitory Authority to provide financing for
construction and reconstruction of educational, administrative, day
program and residential facilities in the state by the InterAgency
Council of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Agencies,
Inc.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
The bill amends section 1676 subdivision 2 paragraph (b) and section
1680 subdivision 1 of the public authority law to include the
InterAgency Council of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities Agencies, Inc. among those similarly situated groups who
are eligible to receive Dormitory Authority funding. It provides for
an immediate effective date.

 EXISTING LAW :
Other similarly situated not-for-profit corporations are listed as

designated agencies to receive Dormitory Authority funding.

 JUSTIFICATION :
The relatively small size of community agencies providing services to
people with disabilities has limited the agencies' access to financing
or, when financing has been available, has made it very expensive.
Allowing the InterAgency Council of Mental Retardation and
Developmental Disabilities Agencies, Inc., a not-for-profit
corporation, to be included on the list of designated agencies to
receive dormitory authority funding will enable such service providers
to join together to achieve economies of scale and lower rates of
financing.

By blending together agencies of diverse size and location who offer
substantially similar services, the agencies will be able to acquire
financing for much needed expansion, renovation and construction at
more economical rates. Old debt incurred at high rates by the
individual agencies can be consolidated and replaced by refinancing at
much more favorable rates through Dormitory Authority support.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
New Bill

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
