S 9256 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Facilitates the marketing of any issue of serial bonds or notes of the city of Buffalo issued on or before a certain date

This bill allows the City of Buffalo to sell certain bonds or notes issued on or before June 30, 2025, using private sales methods that are normally restricted. Under the new rules, the city can hire underwriters through negotiated agreements, paying them via fees or by selling the bonds at a discount to their full value. The costs associated with these sales are treated as preliminary expenses for budgeting purposes. The legislation applies specifically to the City of Buffalo and requires approval from the state comptroller regarding the terms of any such sale.
