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

  Section  1.  The  public  authorities  law  is amended by adding a new
section 736 to read as follows:
  S 736. BONDS OF THE AUTHORITY. 1. THE AUTHORITY SHALL HAVE  THE  POWER
AND  IS  HEREBY  AUTHORIZED  FROM  TIME TO TIME TO ISSUE BONDS, NOTES OR
OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO PAY THE COST OF ANY PROJECT OR FOR ANY OTHER CORPO-
RATE PURPOSE, INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RESERVES TO  SECURE  BONDS,
THE  PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS
AND THE PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL EXPENSES IN  CONNECTION  THEREWITH.    THE
AGGREGATE  PRINCIPAL  AMOUNT  OF  SUCH BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS
SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, EXCLUDING BONDS, NOTES  OR
OTHER  OBLIGATIONS  ISSUED  TO REFUND OR OTHERWISE REPAY BONDS, NOTES OR
OTHER OBLIGATIONS THEREFORE ISSUED FOR SUCH PURPOSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT UPON ANY SUCH REFUNDING OR REPAYMENT OF THE TOTAL AGGREGATE PRINCI-
PAL AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING BONDS,  NOTES  OR  OTHER  OBLIGATIONS  MAY  BE
GREATER  THAN  ONE  HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ONLY IF THE PRESENT VALUE OF
THE AGGREGATE DEBT SERVICE OF THE FUNDING OR REPAYMENT BONDS,  NOTES  OR
OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO BE ISSUED SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRESENT VALUE OF THE
AGGREGATE  DEBT  SERVICE  OF THE BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO BE
REFUNDED OR REPAID. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE PRESENT VALUES  OF
THE AGGREGATE DEBT SERVICE OF THE REFUNDING OR REPAYMENT BONDS, NOTES OR
OTHER  OBLIGATIONS AND OF THE AGGREGATE DEBT SERVICE OF THE BONDS, NOTES
OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS SO REFUNDED  OR  REPAID,  SHALL  BE  CALCULATED  BY
UTILIZING  THE  EFFECTIVE  INTEREST  RATE  OF THE REFUNDING OR REPAYMENT
BONDS, NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS, WHICH SHALL BE THAT RATE  ARRIVED  AT
BY  DOUBLING  THE  SEMI-ANNUAL  INTEREST RATE (COMPOUNDED SEMI-ANNUALLY)
