S 5442 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the state comptroller to refund all or any part of bonds

This bill (S 5442) authorizes New York's state comptroller to refund or replace existing state bonds early if it benefits the state treasury. The comptroller may do this at any time before the bonds' maturity date, subject to conditions they set, but any refund must occur at no more than 3% above the bond's face value. The bill directly affects state bond management, allowing the comptroller to potentially reduce interest costs by refinancing debt when market conditions are favorable. It does not create new spending or alter existing bond terms.
