Became a law July 31, 1992, with the approval of the Governor. Passed on message of necessity pursuant to Article III, section 14 and on Home Rule request pursuant to Article IX, section 2(b) (2) of the Constitution by a majority vote, three-fifths being present.

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

Section 1. Legislative findings and statement of purposes. It is hereby found and declared that an imbalance between the revenues and expenditures of a locality is contrary to the public interest of such locality and the state and threatens a decline in the general prosperity and economic welfare of the inhabitants of such locality and the people of this state. Accordingly, it is a matter of substantial and imperative concern that a locality not fail to meet its obligations and thereby suffer the above consequences.

The legislature further finds and declares that a credible and comprehensive plan to restore a locality to financial solvency must include significant local actions over a multi-year period.

The program embodied in this act authorizes necessary assistance required by the county of Nassau at this time and provides for: (i) the creation of a local advisory board to review the financial management of such county; (ii) the review and audit of county fiscal operations by

the state comptroller; and (iii) the development of a corrective action plan by the county executive of such county. This legislative program is intended intended to accomplish the objectives described above and thereby insure the continuity of governmental operations.

§ 2. The county of Nassau is hereby authorized to issue serial bonds on or before December 31, 1993 in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed sixty-five million dollars for the specific object or purpose of liquidating the projected deficit in its general fund at the close of its current fiscal year ending December 31, 1992. In anticipation of the issuance of the bonds authorized to be issued by this act, bond anticipation notes are hereby authorized to be issued. Full public disclosure shall be made of all fees, commissions and interest costs associated with any bonds or bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to this act.

§ 3. Notwithstanding anything in this act to the contrary, the county of Nassau shall not issue any bonds for the purpose of liquidating the projected deficit in its general fund at the close of its current fiscal year ending December 31, 1992 until the amount of such deficit is determined by the state Comptroller. The county shall prepare a report detailing the amount and cause of such deficit as soon as practicable after the close of such fiscal year and submit such report, together with the independent financial audit of such fiscal year, to the state comptroller. Within thirty days after receiving such report the state comptroller shall perform such reviews as may be necessary to determine the amount of such deficit. Bonds to liquidate such deficit shall not be issued in an amount exceeding the amount of such deficit as determined by the state comptroller. Nothing herein provided shall prevent such county from authorizing the issuance of bond anticipation notes for the purpose of liquidating such deficit prior to a determination by the state comptroller of the amount of such deficit. In the event that bond anticipation notes are issued in an amount in excess of the amount of such deficit as determined by the state comptroller, such county shall, from funds other than the proceeds of bonds or bond anticipation notes, either redeem such bond anticipation notes in the amount by which the amount of such bond anticipation notes exceeds the amount of such deficit as determined by the state comptroller or deposit the amount by which such bond anticipation notes exceeds the amount of such deficit as determined by the state comptroller into a reserve fund for the payment of bonded indebtedness established pursuant to section six-h of the general municipal law.

§ 4. It is hereby determined that the financing of the deficit hereinbefore described is an object or purpose of the county of Nassau for which indebtedness may be incurred, the period of probable usefulness of which is hereby determined to be six years, computed from the date of such bonds or from the date of the first bond anticipation note issued in anticipation of the sale of such bonds, whichever date is earlier. Such bonds and/or bond anticipation notes shall be general obligations of the county of Nassau to which the faith and credit of the county pledged, and the county shall make an annual appropriation sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such obligations as the same shall become due.

§ 5. Except as hereinafter provided, the provisions of the local finance law shall be applicable to the authorization and issuance of the bonds and/or bond anticipation notes authorized to be issued by this act provided, however, that any ordinance or resolution authorizing the suance of such bonds shall not be subject to either mandatory or permissive referendum.

§ 6. (a) For each fiscal year occurring during the time bonds and/or bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to this act are outstanding, the budget director of the county shall prepare a quarterly report of summarized budget data depicting overall trends of actual revenues and budget expenditures for the entire budget rather than individual line items. Such budgetary reports shall compare revenue estimates and appropriations as set forth in such budget with the actual revenues and expenditures made to date. All such quarterly budgetary reports shall be accompanied by county recommendations setting forth any remedial action necessary to resolve any unfavorable budget variance including the overestimation of revenues and the under-estimation of expenditures.
