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

  Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 352-e of the general business law
is amended by adding a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:
  (D) (1) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHALL REFUSE TO ISSUE  A  LETTER  STATING
THAT  THE  OFFERING  HAS  BEEN  FILED OR IN THE CASE OF AN OFFERING PLAN
ALREADY ACCEPTED FOR FILING, SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT AN AMENDMENT TO  THE
PLAN  UNLESS  THE  OFFERING  STATEMENT,  PROSPECTUS,  PLAN  OR AMENDMENT
PROVIDES THAT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS LESS THAN TEN PERCENT OF THE SHARES  OR
COMMON INTERESTS ARE OWNED BY THE OFFEROR, THE OFFEROR SHALL: (I) POST A
BOND, (II) FUND A RESERVE ACCOUNT, (III) OBTAIN AN IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF
CREDIT, OR (IV) FURNISH ANOTHER FORM OF SECURITY IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO
THE  DEPARTMENT OF LAW. IF A PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE ON
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS PARAGRAPH, AN  OFFEROR  WHO  STILL  OWNS  TEN
PERCENT  OR  MORE  OF  THE  SHARES OR COMMON INTERESTS SHALL FURNISH THE
SECURITY DESCRIBED HEREIN.
  (2) THE BOND, RESERVE ACCOUNT, LETTER  OF  CREDIT  OR  OTHER  SECURITY
SHALL  BE  IN  AN  AMOUNT CERTIFIED AS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE ESTIMATED

AMENDMENT  FOR  A  PERIOD OF THREE YEARS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE OFFEROR'S OBLIGATION TO PAY MAINTENANCE,  COMMON  CHARGES  AND  REAL

CHARGES FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD EXCEED ANTICIPATED  RENTAL  RECEIPTS  TO
THE OFFEROR OR FOR SUCH THREE YEAR PERIOD,  AND THE OFFEROR'S OBLIGATION
TO  MAKE  ANY REPAIRS OR IMPROVEMENTS PROMISED IN THE OFFERING PLAN. THE
COST OF THE OFFEROR'S OBLIGATION TO MAKE SUCH REPAIRS  AND  IMPROVEMENTS
