Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the local finance law, in relation to the delivery of the good faith deposit following award of the bonds to the successful bidder

AI Summary

This bill amends the local finance law to allow municipalities, school districts, or district corporations to require that a good faith deposit be made as a condition for considering a bid for bonds, rather than only requiring it from the successful bidder after the bonds have been awarded. A good faith deposit is a sum of money or other acceptable security, such as a certified check, cash, a surety bond, or a letter of credit, that a bidder provides to demonstrate their seriousness and commitment to a transaction. This change gives these entities more flexibility in their bond sale processes.
