AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to  the  Buffalo
  Fiscal Stability Authority (BFSA) financial crisis determinations

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of section 3851 of the public authori-
ties law, as added by chapter 122 of the laws of 2003,  are  amended  to
read as follows:
  1. "Advisory period" means that period no earlier than July first, two
thousand six, after which the authority has determined that (a) for each
of  the  three  immediately  preceding  city  fiscal years, the city has
adopted and adhered to budgets covering  all  expenditures,  other  than
capital  items, the results of which did not show a deficit, without the
use of any [authority] BFSA assistance, as provided for  under  SUBDIVI-
SION ONE OF section thirty-eight hundred fifty-seven of this title, when
reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
(b) the comptroller and the state comptroller jointly certify that secu-
rities  were  sold  by  the  city  during the immediately preceding city
fiscal year in the general public market and that there is a substantial
likelihood that such securities can be sold by the city in  the  general
public market from such date through the end of the next succeeding city
fiscal  year in amounts that will satisfy substantially all of the capi-
tal and cash flow requirements of the city during that period in accord-
ance with the financial plan then in existence. The joint  certification
made  by  the  comptroller  and  the state comptroller shall be based on
their separate written determinations which  may  take  into  account  a
report  and opinion of an independent expert in the marketing of securi-
ties selected by the authority as well as other information available to
the comptrollers. Once begun, an advisory period shall continue  through

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
