Bill > A00881

This bill amends the Private Housing Finance Law to specify the conditions under which a mutual company can voluntarily dissolve. Currently, companies aided by loans made after May 1, 1959, can dissolve without consent from regulatory agencies after 20 years, provided they have fully paid their mortgage principal, interest, and related expenses. The bill introduces a new provision specifically for mutual companies, stipulating that they can only voluntarily dissolve without regulatory consent after their municipal tax exemption (and any extensions of that exemption) has expired. This change distinguishes the dissolution requirements for mutual companies from other types of housing finance companies, adding an additional procedural step for mutual companies seeking voluntary dissolution. The bill aims to provide clearer guidelines for the dissolution process of mutual companies while ensuring that their tax-exempt status and financial obligations are appropriately considered before dissolution.
