AN ACT in relation to redistributing 2011 bond volume  allocations  made
  pursuant  to  section  146  of  the federal tax reform act of 1986; in
  relation to allocation of the unified state bond  volume  ceiling;  in
  relation to enacting the private activity bond allocation act of 2012;
  and  providing  for  the  repeal of certain provisions upon expiration
  thereof

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

  Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
the "private activity bond allocation act of 2012".
  S 2. Legislative findings  and  declaration.  The  legislature  hereby
finds and declares that the federal tax reform act of 1986 established a
statewide  bond  volume  ceiling  on  the issuance of certain tax exempt
private activity bonds  and  notes  and,  under  certain  circumstances,
governmental  use  bonds  and  notes  issued by the state and its public
authorities, local governments, agencies which issue on behalf of  local
governments,  and  certain  other issuers. The federal tax reform act of
1986 establishes a formula for the allocation of the bond volume ceiling
which was subject to temporary modification by  gubernatorial  executive
order  until December 31, 1987. Such act also permits state legislatures
to establish, by statute, an  alternative  formula  for  allocating  the
volume ceiling. Bonds and notes subject to the volume ceiling require an
allocation  from  the  state's annual volume ceiling in order to qualify
for federal tax exemption.
  It is hereby declared to be the policy of the state  to  maximize  the
public  benefit  through  the issuance of private activity bonds for the
purposes of, among other things, allocating a fair  share  of  the  bond
volume  ceiling upon initial allocation and from a bond reserve to local
agencies and for needs identified by local governments; providing  hous-
ing  and  promoting  economic  development;  job creation; an economical
energy supply; and resource recovery and to provide for an  orderly  and
efficient volume ceiling allocation process for state and local agencies
by establishing an alternative formula for making such allocations.
