 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8870

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 June 9, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- (at request of the Governor) -- read
 once and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means

 AN ACT in relation to authorizing a loan from the state to the city of
 Dunkirk (Part A); and making an appropriation therefor (Part B)

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

 1 Section 1. This act enacts into law components of legislation neces-
 2 sary to authorize a loan for the city of Dunkirk. Each component is
 3 wholly contained within a Part identified as Parts A through B. The
 4 effective date for each particular provision contained within such Part
 5 is set forth in the last section of such Part. Any provision in any
 6 section contained within a Part, including the effective date of the
 7 Part, which makes a reference to a section "of this act", when used in
 8 connection with that particular component, shall be deemed to mean and
 9 refer to the corresponding section of the Part in which it is found.
 10 Section three of this act sets forth the general effective date of this
 11 act.

 12 PART A

 13 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and
 14 declares that a condition of severe fiscal difficulties exists in the
 15 city of Dunkirk as a result of expenditures exceeding revenues over
 16 numerous years, with the substantial accumulation of deficits expected
 17 for the close of the city's fiscal year 2024. Such condition, including
 18 late and overdue financial statements, has contributed to a current loss
 19 of confidence by investors in short-term and long-term obligations of
 20 the city of Dunkirk as demonstrated by major municipal credit rating
 21 agencies withdrawing credit ratings of the city.
 22 It is hereby further found and declared that the city of Dunkirk pres-
 23 ently has a $12.7 million revenue anticipation note with a maturity date
