AI Summary

This bill extends the effectiveness of several previous laws related to the New York State Housing Finance Agency and the State of New York Mortgage Agency by changing the expiration date from July 23, 2025, to July 23, 2027. The bill makes technical amendments to multiple chapters of existing laws, primarily focusing on extending the agency's powers to issue bonds and notes for housing and infrastructure financing. Specifically, the bill increases the bond limit for tax-exempt and taxable bonds, allowing the agency to issue up to $10.9 billion in tax-exempt bonds (increased from $10.7 billion) and up to $1.95 billion in taxable bonds (increased from $1.5 billion). The modifications also include provisions that allow the agency to continue issuing bonds to refund outstanding bonds and maintain its mortgage financing programs beyond the previous expiration date. The changes ensure that the housing finance and mortgage agencies can continue their critical work of supporting affordable housing and infrastructure development in New York State for an additional two years, providing continued financial flexibility and support for housing initiatives.
