the laws of 2002 amending the public authorities law relating  to  the
powers  of  the  state  of  New  York  mortgage agency, in relation to

PURPOSE OF BILL:

This bill would extend certain statutory  authorizations  of  the  New
York  State Housing Finance Agency ("HFA"), State of New York Mortgage
Agency ("SONYMA") and SONYMA  Mortgage  Insurance  Fund  ("MIF"),  and
increase the bonding authority of SONYMA and HFA.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section  1  of  the  bill would increase HFA's bonding authority by $1
billion to a maximum aggregate of $16.28 billion.

Sections 2 and 3 of the bill would extend HFA's authority  to  finance
certain multifamily housing projects until July 23, 2013.

Section  4  of  the  bill  would extend SONYMA's authority to purchase
forward commitment mortgages until July 23, 2013.

Section 5 of the bill would extend SONYMA's  authority  to  issue  new
money  taxable and tax-exempt bonds until July 23, 2013, and increases
SONYMA's tax-exempt bonding authority by $1 billion to  a  maximum  of
$10.22 billion.

Section  6  of  the  bill would extend until July 23, 2013, the sunset
date of (i) sections six and nine through seventeen of Chapter 555  of
the  Laws  of  1989 that broadened the scope of MIF to provide primary
mortgage insurance on a statewide basis to individual  homeowners  and
to  provide  pool insurance to all of SONYMA's loans, and (ii) section
13 of Chapter 3 of the laws of 2004 concerning development corporation
credit support relating to the Jacob Javits Convention Center.


Section 7 would extend until July 23, 2013, the  sunset  date  of  the
requirement that at least 20% of a rehabilitation loan given by SONYMA
be used for rehabilitation or construction of improvements.

Section 8 of the bill would provide for an immediate effective date.

EXISTING LAW:

HFA

Current  law  authorizes  HFA to issue bonds and notes for its housing
programs for any of its corporate purposes in an  aggregate  principal
amount  not  to  exceed  $15.28  billion.  HFA's  authority to finance
certain multi-family housing projects is scheduled to sunset  on  June
30, 2011.

SONYMA

Under  existing law, SONYMA's authority to purchase forward commitment
mortgages and to issue new money taxable bonds are scheduled to sunset
on July 16, 2011. SONYMA is currently authorized to issue up to  $9.22
billion  of  new  money tax-exempt bonds and up to $800 million of new
money taxable bonds by July 16, 2011.

MIF

Chapter 555 of the Laws of 1989, as amended, authorizes MIF to provide
primary  mortgage  insurance  on  a  statewide  basis  to   individual
homeowners  and to provide pool insurance to all of SONYMA's loans and
is scheduled to sunset on July 16, 2011. Chapter  3  of  the  Laws  of
2004,  as  amended,  enabling SONYMA to provide credit support for the
Jacob Javits Convention Center, is scheduled to  sunset  on  July  16,
2011.

SONYMA  is  currently  authorized  through  July  23,  2012  to insure
rehabilitation loans, which are  defined  in  Public  Authorities  Law
§2426  (12)  as loans wherein at least 20% of the mortgage loan amount
is attributable to the  cost  of  rehabilitation  or  construction  of
improvements.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Numerous  similar  extensions  and increases in HFA and SONYMA bonding
authority have been made. The HFA provisions were extended in  Chapter
407  of the Laws of 2010; Chapter 176 of the Laws of 2009; Chapter 151
of the laws of 2008; Chapter 85 of the Laws of 2007;  Chapter  398  of
the  Laws of 2006; Chapter 124 of the Laws of 2005; Chapter 204 of the
Laws of 2004; Chapter 99 of the Laws of 2003; Chapter 48 of  the  Laws
of  2002; Chapter 363 of the Laws of 2001; and Chapter 131 of the Laws
of 2000.

The SONYMA provisions were extended in Chapter  218  of  the  Laws  of
2010;  Chapter  177  of  the  Laws of 2009; Chapter 148 of the Laws of
2008; Chapter 227 of the Laws of 2007; Chapter  138  of  the  Laws  of
2006;  Chapter  121  of  the  Laws of 2005; Chapter 147 of the Laws of
2004; Chapter 141 of the Laws of 2003; Chapter  103  of  the  Laws  of


2002;  Chapter 111 of the Laws of 2001; and Chapter 132 of the Laws of
2000.

in Chapter 192 of the Laws of 2009; Chapter 230 of the Laws  of  2007;
Chapter  125 of the Laws of 2005; Chapter 145 of the Laws of 2003; and
Chapter 110 of the Laws of 2001.   The  MIF  provisions  contained  in
section  7  of  this  bill were extended in Chapter 162 of the Laws of
2010; Chapter 150 of the Laws of 2008; Chapter  137  of  the  Laws  of
2006;  Chapter 309 of the Laws of 2005; and Chapter 172 of the Laws of
2002.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

HFA

This bill would increase the maximum amount of new money  bonds  which
HFA  is  authorized  to  issue,  and  would  extend HFA's authority to
finance certain multifamily housing projects until July 23, 2013.  The
Agency currently has a substantial pipeline of financing requests that
will  result  in  both  the  creation  and  preservation of affordable
housing across New York State. The bill would increase HFA's authority
to issue bonds up to $1 billion for  a  maximum  aggregate  of  $16.28
billion,  which will enable the Agency to continue to meet the housing
demands of New Yorkers, as well as create jobs  and  provide  economic
stimulus.

SONYMA

SONYMA's  statutory authorizations to issue new money tax-exempt bonds
and to purchase forward commitment mortgages are scheduled  to  sunset
on  July 16, 2011. SONYMA's statutory authorization to issue new money
taxable bonds is also scheduled to sunset on July 16, 2011. This  bill
would extend the sunset dates for the issuance of new money tax-exempt
bonds  and  new  money  taxable bonds, and for the purchase of forward
commitment mortgages, until July 23, 2013.

This bill  would  also  increase  the  maximum  amount  of  new  money
tax-exempt  bonds  which  SONYMA  is authorized to issue. The increase
being requested is intended to address  the  borrowing  needs  of  the
Agency in 2011, 2012 and the first half of 2013, which borrowing needs
also include issuing bonds for student loan purposes.

The  Agency,  like  most state housing finance agencies throughout the
country, has been adversely impacted in its  ability  to  continue  to
offer  low  interest  rate  fixed  rate mortgage financing to eligible
first-time homebuyers, due to the dramatic  events  in  the  financial
markets  during  late 2008, the impact of which is still being felt in
the capital markets. In order to ameliorate  this  situation,  the  US
Department  of  Treasury  announced in 2009 a program that will permit
state housing agencies such as SONYMA  to  sell  tax-exempt  bonds  to
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the "GSEs"). The GSEs securitize the bonds
and  simultaneously sell the securities to the Department of Treasury.
The program has enabled the Agency to lower its borrowing costs and as
a result, the Agency has once again been able to offer  its  mortgages
at  attractive  interest  rates.  The  program runs through the end of
2011, by which time the capital markets should have fully recovered.


In early 2009, the Agency's  statute  was  amended  to  modernize  the
Agency's authority to issue bonds to finance student loans. The Agency
completed its first bond sale in December 2009. Demand for the program
has  been  slow  to  develop,  but the Agency will need to use bonding
authority to issue bonds in the future.

Given  the  Treasury  Department program and the implementation of the
student loan program, the Agency expects a continuing demand  for  its
products.  SONYMA's  current authorities to issue new money tax-exempt
bonds and taxable bonds are insufficient to cover the current expected
demand for mortgages and student loans in the next few years. The bill
would increase SONYMA's authority to issue additional tax-exempt bonds
and notes up to a total maximum amount of $10.22  billion  which  will
enable  SONYMA  to  satisfy  its  expected  mortgage  and student loan
demand.

MIF

Enactment of Chapter 575 of the Laws of 1989 and of Chapter 3  of  the
Laws of 2004 enabled SONYMA to provide primary mortgage insurance on a
statewide  basis,  provide pool insurance for mortgages on one-to-four
family homes and on multi-family projects where the loans are made  by
lenders  who  meet  certain criteria and provide credit support to the
Jacob Javits Convention Center. However, these provisions will  sunset
on  July 16, 2011. The bill would extend these sunset provisions until
July 23, 2013.

Without an extension, the MIF will only be able  to  insure  mortgages
for  projects  located  in  "blighted"  neighborhoods  and provide per
project mortgage insurance in amounts not exceeding $5 million or  $10
million  depending  upon  project  type.  In addition, the MIF will be
unable to provide  primary  mortgage  insurance,  pool  insurance  and
credit support.

SONYMA's   primary   tool   for   promoting   new   construction   and
rehabilitation of  affordable  housing  is  its  authority  to  insure
Rehabilitation   Loans.  The  statutory  authority  that  reduced  the
percentage of a rehabilitation  loan  that  must  be  attributable  by
SONYMA  to  the cost of rehabilitation or new improvements from 25% to
20% of the mortgage loan is set to expire on July 23, 2012.

The 25%  requirement  is  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code ("Code") concerning the issuance of tax-exempt
bonds for multifamily housing. Under the Code a minimum of 15% of such
bonds must fund construction or rehabilitation costs. Several  of  the
most important users of SONYMA's mortgage insurance are public benefit
corporations,  such as the New York State Housing Finance Agency, that
issue tax-exempt bonds subject to the standards set by the Code.

The 25% requirement also  encourages  lenders  and  borrowers  to  pad
prospective  loans with additional improvement not otherwise necessary
for the project so that they are eligible under the current definition
of Rehabilitation Loan.

The reduction of the  percentage  requirement  from  25%  to  20%  has
resulted in SONYMA's insurance product matching more closely the needs
of  some  of its primary users without in any way negatively affecting


the programmatic or financial  integrity  of  the  Mortgage  Insurance
Fund.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

This bill does not affect the state budget.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill would become effective immediately.

furthering programs described in this title, the agency is authorized to
covenant and consent that the interest on any of  its  bonds,  notes  or
other  obligations shall be includable, under the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any subsequent corresponding  inter-
nal revenue law of the United States, in the gross income of the holders
of the bonds to the same extent and in the same manner that the interest
on  bills,  bonds,  notes  or  other obligations of the United States is
includable in the gross income of the holders thereof under said  Inter-
nal  Revenue  Code or any such subsequent law. Pursuant to this subdivi-
sion, the agency shall not issue bonds, notes or other obligations in an
aggregate principal amount  exceeding  eight  hundred  million  dollars,

note  or other obligation shall be issued by the agency on or after July
[sixteenth] TWENTY-THIRD,  two  thousand  [eleven]  THIRTEEN,  excluding
bonds,  notes  or  other obligations issued to refund outstanding bonds,
notes or other obligations and no mortgages shall be purchased with  the
proceeds  of such bonds, notes or other obligations after such date. The
board of directors of the agency shall establish program guidelines  for
purposes  of  bonds,  notes or other obligations issued pursuant to this
subdivision. The board of directors shall establish from  time  to  time
maximum  income limits of persons eligible to receive mortgages financed
by bonds, notes or other obligations issued pursuant  to  this  subdivi-
sion, which income limits with respect to one-third of the total princi-
pal  amount  of  mortgages authorized to be so financed shall not exceed
one hundred twenty-five percent of  the  latest  maximum  income  limits
permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for mort-
gagors  financed by mortgage revenue bonds, with respect to one-third of
such principal amount authorized to be so financed, shall not exceed one
hundred thirty-five percent of such income limits, and with  respect  to
one-third  of  such principal amount authorized to be so financed, shall
not exceed one hundred fifty percent of such limits.
  (3) The fixing of the statutory maximums in this section shall not  be
construed  as constituting a contract between the agency and the holders
of its bonds or notes that additional bonds and notes may not be  issued
subsequently  by  the  agency  in the event that such statutory maximums
shall subsequently be increased by law.
