S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 354 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E (PREFILED) January 5, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. ROBACH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Commerce, Economic Devel- opment and Small Business AN ACT to amend the economic development law and the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the job development authority to create and administer the bank export incentive program with the tech- nical assistance of the department of economic development THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the economy of the state of New York can be bolstered and enhanced through the sale of additional products and services from New York state to customers in foreign countries. The legislature further finds that one of the impediments to an increase in export sales from New York state is the unavailability of loans at a competitive interest rate for relatively small amounts of money borrowed for time periods between one and five years from the commercial banks of our state and nation. It is further found that one of the major reasons that such monies are unavailable is the high cost of processing such loans by banking organizations because of the complexities of international tran- sactions. The legislature, therefore, finds and declares that it is in the interest of a stronger and more viable economy for the state of New York to encourage the banking industry of our state to provide medium- term financing for low dollar volume export transactions through the creation of a bank export incentive program. S 2. Subdivision 47 of section 100 of the economic development law, as renumbered by chapter 427 of the laws of 2008, is renumbered subdivi- sion 48 and a new subdivision 47 is added to read as follows: 47. MAKE POTENTIAL ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS AWARE OF, THROUGH THE USE OF SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, ADVERTISING OR OTHER APPROPRIATE METHODS, THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
