 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. MARTINEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

 AN ACT to amend the local finance law, in relation to installments of
 certain bonds; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating
 thereto

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph b of section 21.00 of the local finance law, as
 2 amended by chapter 167 of the laws of 2024, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 b. Serial bonds shall mature in annual installments. The first
 5 installment shall mature not later than [eighteen months after the date
 6 of such bonds or two years after the date of the first bond anticipation
 7 note or notes issued in anticipation of such bonds, whichever is the
 8 earlier, provided, however, that until July fifteenth, two thousand
 9 twenty-seven, the first installment shall mature not later than] two
 10 years after the date of such bonds or two years after the date of the
 11 first bond anticipation note or notes issued in anticipation of such
 12 bonds, whichever is the earlier. However, if bond anticipation notes are
 13 issued in anticipation of bonds and if a portion of such notes or the
 14 renewals thereof are redeemed from a source other than the proceeds of
 15 such bonds within two years from the date of the first such note or
 16 notes and a further portion thereof shall be so redeemed prior to the
 17 termination of each twelve months' period succeeding the date such
 18 original portion was so redeemed, the first installment of such bonds
 19 may, in the alternative, be made to mature not later than five years
 20 from the date of the first such note or notes.
 21 § 2. Paragraph b of section 53.00 of the local finance law, as amended
 22 by chapter 167 of the laws of 2024, is amended to read as follows:

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

 1 b. If such bonds or notes are payable in installments, the install-
 2 ments remaining unpaid may be called for redemption [only (i) in the
 3 inverse order of their maturity or, (ii) in equal proportionate amounts;
 4 provided, however, that for bonds issued during the one-year period
 5 commencing July first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, and for bonds
 6 issued during the one-year period commencing July first, nineteen
 7 hundred eighty-nine,
