 Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee

 AN ACT to amend the New York state medical care facilities finance agen-
   cy act, in relation to the ability to issue certain bonds and notes
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 7 of section 1 of
 chapter 392 of the laws of 1973, constituting the New York state medical
 care facilities finance agency act, as amended by  chapter  183  of  the
 laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
   (b) The agency shall not issue hospital and nursing home project bonds
 and  hospital  and  nursing home project notes in an aggregate principal
 amount exceeding [sixteen] SEVENTEEN billion [six] FOUR hundred  million
 dollars,  excluding hospital and nursing home project bonds and hospital
 and nursing home project notes issued to refund outstanding hospital and
 nursing home projects bonds and hospital and nursing home project notes;
 provided, however, that upon any such refunding or repayment  the  total
 aggregate  principal  amount  of outstanding bonds, notes or other obli-
 gations may be greater  than  [sixteen]  SEVENTEEN  billion  [six]  FOUR
 hundred  million dollars only if the present value of the aggregate debt
 service of the refunding 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 so to  be  refunded  or
 repaid.  For  purposes  hereof, 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 obli-
 gations 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)  necessary  to
 discount the debt service payments on the refunding or repayment  bonds,

 notes or other obligations from the payment dates thereof to the date of
 issue  of  the  refunding or repayment bonds, notes or other obligations
 and to the price bid including estimated accrued  interest  or  proceeds
 received  by  the  agency  including estimated accrued interest from the
 sale thereof. The agency shall  not  issue  hospital  and  nursing  home
 project bonds at any time secured by the hospital and nursing home capi-
 tal  reserve fund if upon issuance, the amount in the hospital and nurs-
 ing home capital reserve fund will be less than the hospital and nursing
 home capital reserve fund requirement, unless the agency, at the time of
 issuance of such bonds, shall deposit in  such  reserve  fund  from  the
 proceeds  of  the  bonds  so to be issued, or otherwise, an amount which
 together with the amount then in such reserve fund,  will  be  not  less
 than the hospital and nursing home capital reserve fund requirement.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
