Introduced by Sen. MARCHIONE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

AN  ACT  to  amend  the local finance law and chapter 419 of the laws of
  1991, amending the local  finance  law  and  other  laws  relating  to
  providing  relief  to  local governments for certain mandated programs
  and services, in relation to local government borrowing practices  and
  mandate relief

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

  Section 1. Paragraph b of section 21.00 of the local finance  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  91  of  the  laws  of  2012, is amended to read as
follows:
  b. Serial  bonds  shall  mature  in  annual  installments.  The  first
installment  shall  mature not later than eighteen months after the date
of such bonds or two years after the date of the first bond anticipation
note or notes issued in anticipation of such  bonds,  whichever  is  the
earlier,  provided,  however,  that  until  July fifteenth, two thousand
[fifteen] EIGHTEEN, the first installment shall mature  not  later  than
two  years  after  the date of such bonds or two years after the date of
the first bond anticipation note or notes issued in anticipation of such
bonds, whichever is the earlier. However, if bond anticipation notes are
issued in anticipation of bonds and if a portion of such  notes  or  the
renewals  thereof  are redeemed from a source other than the proceeds of
such bonds within two years from the date of  the  first  such  note  or
notes  and  a  further portion thereof shall be so redeemed prior to the
termination of each twelve  months'  period  succeeding  the  date  such
original  portion  was  so redeemed, the first installment of such bonds
may, in the alternative, be made to mature not  later  than  five  years
from the date of the first such note or notes.
  S 2. Paragraph b of section 53.00 of the local finance law, as amended
by chapter 91 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD09182-01-5
