 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law and the not-for-profit corpo-
 ration law, in relation to reviews by the authorities budget office
 and granting the authorities budget office the authority to commence
 an action or special proceeding to annul the corporate existence or
 dissolve a corporation that has acted beyond its capacity or power or
 to restrain it from carrying on unauthorized activities

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 9 to read as follows:
 3 § 9. Reports of public authorities by authorities budget office;
 4 recommendations for corrective action. Whenever the authorities budget
 5 office issues a letter or report regarding the activities and operations
 6 of any public authority, the head of the public authority which the
 7 letter or report was about shall submit a written response to the letter
 8 or report within thirty days of the receipt of the letter or report. If
 9 the letter or report makes recommendations for corrective action, such
 10 head shall report within one hundred eighty days after receipt thereof
 11 to the authorities budget office what steps were taken to implement such
 12 recommendations, and, where recommendations were not implemented, the
 13 reasons therefor. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section
 14 shall make the authority delinquent in its reporting requirements.
 15 § 2. Subdivision 3 of section 2800 of the public authorities law, as
 16 amended by chapter 766 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as
 17 follows:
 18 3. Every financial report submitted under this section shall be
 19 approved by the board and shall be certified, under penalty of perjury,
 20 in writing by the chief executive officer and the chief financial offi-
 21 cer of such authority that based on the officer's knowledge (a) the
 22 information provided therein is accurate, correct and does not contain
 23 any untrue statement of material fact; (b) does not omit any material

 4 condition and results of operations of the authority as of, and for, the
 5 periods presented in the financial statements. A knowing and willful

 9 2. (a) Individuals appointed to the board of a public authority shall
