   30  default under the terms of any mortgage insured by the agency. The agen-
   31  cy may require that prior to  submitting  a  claim  to  the  agency  for
   32  payment  of insurance the mortgagee shall take such actions with respect
   33  to the property securing the defaulted mortgage as may be  specified  by
   34  the  agency to be satisfactory evidence of a continuing default, includ-

   36  gee  in  possession  thereof; (ii) causing a receiver to be appointed of
   37  such property; (iii) obtaining voluntary conveyance of  the  mortgagor's
   38  right and title to such property; or (iv) obtaining by foreclosure clear

   41  pay an amount which  shall  not  exceed  the  lesser  of  (1)  the  then
   42  outstanding  insured  principal amount of the mortgage multiplied by the
   43  per centum of such outstanding amount insured by the agency  and  a  per
   44  centum  of  the  mortgagee's cost arising from the default, inclusive of
   45  public liens and delinquent and unpaid interest, all as the  agency  may
   46  from  time  to  time  allow,  which  per centum shall not exceed the per
   47  centum of the outstanding principal indebtedness insured by  the  agency
   48  or  (2)  the  insured amount of the mortgage at the date of execution of
   49  the insurance contract or its latest amendment, if any, except that  the
   50  agency  shall  pay  the greater of the two amounts on claims by a public
   51  employee pension fund, or by a public benefit corporation  derived  from
   52  the  sale of notes or bonds issued by said corporation, provided that no
   53  more than the actual loss suffered by such public employee pension  fund
   54  or public benefit corporation shall be paid. Such payment may be made by
   55  the agency in a lump sum, or in partial payments made within such period
       S. 3692--B                          3

    4  be  followed  with respect to development corporation credit support for
    5  which the development corporation credit support account has been deter-
    6  mined by the agency to be a source or potential source of payment.
    7    3. THE AGENCY SHALL ESTABLISH BY CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, PROCEDURES  TO
    8  BE  FOLLOWED WITH RESPECT TO MAKING INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT
    9  FOR THE TEMPORARY ACQUISITION OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
   10    S 6. Section 2429-b of the  public  authorities  law,  as  amended  by
   11  section  13  of  chapter  3  of  the laws of 2004, is amended to read as
   12  follows:
   13    S 2429-b. Mortgage insurance fund. 1. (a) The agency shall create  and
   14  establish  a mortgage insurance fund. Within such fund, the agency shall
   15  establish: (i) a special account, which shall be  divided  into  sub-ac-
   16  counts  for  each region as defined in subdivision nine of section twen-
   17  ty-four hundred twenty-six of this title;  (ii)  a  single  family  pool
   18  insurance  account; (iii) a project pool insurance account; [and] (iv) a
   19  development corporation credit  support  account;  AND  (V)  AN  INTERIM
   20  SHORT-TERM  FINANCING  ACCOUNT. The single family pool insurance account
   21  shall be used for all business relating to the insurance of mortgages on
   22  properties with one to four dwelling units, the project  pool  insurance
   23  account  shall  be  used  for  all business relating to the insurance of
   24  mortgages on properties other than  those  with  one  to  four  dwelling
   25  units, [and] the development corporation credit support account shall be
   26  used  for  all  business  relating  to  development  corporation  credit
   27  support, AND THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT SHALL BE USED  FOR
   28  ALL  BUSINESS RELATING TO INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT. Separate
   29  sub-accounts may be established within the  special  account,  the  pool
   30  insurance  accounts,  [and]  the  development corporation credit support
   31  account AND THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT as deemed appropri-
   32  ate by the agency.
   33    (b) (i) The mortgage insurance fund shall be used as a revolving  fund
   34  for  carrying out the provisions of this title with respect to mortgages
   35  insured  and  development  corporation  credit   support   AND   INTERIM
   36  SHORT-TERM  FINANCING  SUPPORT,  provided  thereunder.   (ii) The agency
   37  shall pay into such fund all moneys which may be made available  to  the
   38  agency  for the purposes of such fund from any source, including but not
   39  limited to the moneys received from recording officers pursuant  to  the
   40  provisions  of  subdivision  two of section two hundred sixty-one of the
   41  tax law. The agency shall credit the amount of moneys received from  the
   42  recording officer of each county, pursuant to subdivision two of section
   43  two  hundred  sixty-one  of  the tax law, to the special account. In any
   44  fiscal year, no more than fifty per centum of the amount  received  from
   45  the recording officers during the consecutive twelve month period ending
   46  on  the  preceding  March thirty-first may be used by the agency for the
   47  purpose of insuring mortgages on property  located  in  any  one  region
   48  pursuant to section two thousand four hundred twenty-eight of this part,
   49  provided,  however,  that this provision shall not include or be applied
   50  to pool insurance  OR  PRIMARY  MORTGAGE  INSURANCE  of  mortgage  loans
   51  purchased  by the agency. The agency shall credit any other moneys which
   52  may be made available to the agency for the purposes of such  fund  from
   53  any  other  source to the special account, the single family pool insur-
   54  ance account, the project pool insurance account, [or]  the  development
   55  corporation  credit support account, OR THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING
   56  ACCOUNT as appropriate. Any income or interest earned by,  or  increment
       S. 3692--B                          4
    1  to,  the  mortgage insurance fund due to the investment thereof shall be
    2  credited to the special account, the applicable pool insurance  account,
    3  [or]  the  development  corporation  credit  support account, OR INTERIM
    4  SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT, as appropriate.
    5    (c) The agency may credit from the special account to the single fami-
    6  ly  pool insurance account, to the project pool insurance account and to
    7  the development corporation credit support account such  moneys  as  are
    8  required  to  satisfy  the  mortgage  insurance fund requirement of such
    9  accounts, except that during any twelve-month  period  ending  on  March
   10  thirty-first  the  aggregate  amount  credited to the development corpo-
   11  ration credit support account (excluding amounts described in  the  last
   12  sentence  of  paragraph  (b)  of  this subdivision) shall not exceed the
   13  lesser of (i) fifty million dollars or (ii) the aggregate of the amounts
   14  required under the contracts executed by the agency to provide  develop-
   15  ment  corporation  support.    THE  AGENCY  MAY  CREDIT FROM THE SPECIAL
   16  ACCOUNT TO THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT SUCH MONEYS  AS  ARE
   17  IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE MORTGAGE INSURANCE FUND
   18  REQUIREMENTS  OF  THE  SINGLE FAMILY POOL INSURANCE ACCOUNT, THE PROJECT
   19  POOL INSURANCE ACCOUNT, AND THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION  CREDIT  SUPPORT
   20  ACCOUNT.
   21    (d)  Moneys,  investments and cash equivalents of the special account,
   22  the single family pool insurance account,  the  project  pool  insurance
   23  account  [and],  the development corporation credit support account, AND
   24  THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT  shall  be  kept  separate  and
   25  shall not be commingled with each other or with any other accounts which
   26  may  be established from time to time, except as otherwise authorized by
   27  this section.
   28    (e) Moneys, investments and cash equivalents  of  the  pool  insurance
   29  accounts  [and], the development corporation credit support account, AND
   30  THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT  shall  be  excluded  from  the
   31  excess balance calculation set forth in subdivision two of this section.
   32  However,  if  at  any  time the moneys, investments and cash equivalents
   33  (valued as determined by the agency) of either  pool  insurance  account
   34  [or], the development corporation credit support account, OR THE INTERIM
   35  SHORT-TERM  FINANCING  ACCOUNT exceed the amount necessary to attain and
   36  maintain the credit rating or, with respect to  development  corporation
   37  credit support, credit worthiness (as determined by the agency) required
   38  to  accomplish  the  purposes  of such account the agency shall transfer
   39  such excess to the special account and such excess shall be included  in
   40  the excess balance calculation.
   41    1-a. All moneys held in the mortgage insurance fund, except as herein-
   42  after  provided,  shall  be used, as required, solely for the payment of
   43  the agency's liabilities arising from mortgages insured as  provided  in
   44  section  twenty-four  hundred twenty-nine-a of this part [and], from the
   45  provision of development  corporation  credit  support  as  provided  in

   47  PROVISION OF INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION
   48  TWENTY-FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT-B OF THIS PART; provided, however, that
   49  no moneys shall be withdrawn from any account at any time in such amount
   50  as would reduce the amount  of,  as  applicable,  the  special  account,
   51  either  pool  insurance  account  or  the development corporation credit
   52  support account to less than  its  applicable  mortgage  insurance  fund
   53  requirement,  except  for  the purpose of paying such liabilities as the
   54  same become due and for the payment of which other moneys of the  agency
   55  are  not available. All payments pursuant to section twenty-four hundred
   56  twenty-nine-a of this part, and expenses attributable thereto  shall  be
       S. 3692--B                          5

    2  account or the project pool insurance account or the development  corpo-
    3  ration  credit  support  account  OR  THE  INTERIM  SHORT-TERM FINANCING
    4  ACCOUNT,  as  appropriate, within the mortgage insurance fund. All other
    5  operating expenses of the agency with respect to insurance of  mortgages
    6  [and],  providing  development  corporation  credit support, AND INTERIM
    7  SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT shall be debited to  the  special  account,

   13  of the agency shall determine the amount estimated to be received by the
   14  agency from the additional tax imposed pursuant to subdivision one-a  of
   15  section  two  hundred  fifty-three  of  the tax law and deposited in the
   16  mortgage insurance fund and credited to the  special  account  plus  any
   17  other  monies  deposited  in  such  account  plus the amount of reserves
   18  available in such special account with respect to  mortgage  loans  that
   19  were  previously  insured in accordance with section twenty-four hundred
   20  twenty-eight OF THIS PART, or  development  corporation  credit  support
   21  previously  provided  pursuant  to  section  twenty-four hundred twenty-
   22  eight-a of this part under  contracts  or  commitments  that  have  been
   23  satisfied  or  cancelled, OR INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT PREVI-

   26  sion one of this section, except charges and fees levied by  the  agency
   27  pursuant  to  section  twenty-four  hundred  twenty-nine-c of this part,

   29  cancelled or expires or when the insurance or contractual arrangement to
   30  provide  development  corporation  credit  support OR INTERIM SHORT-TERM

   32  made  on  or  before  March twentieth in each year shall be made for the
   33  consecutive twelve-month period ending on the subsequent  March  thirty-
   34  first.  The  board shall then determine the estimated excess balance, if
   35  any, in such special account by determining the  amount  by  which  such
   36  credits  exceed  twenty per centum, or such other per centums or amounts
   37  as may have been established by the board of  directors  of  the  agency
   38  pursuant  to  subdivision  seven  of section twenty-four hundred twenty-

   52  corporation  credit  support  OR  INTERIM  SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT,
   53  which amount may not exceed an amount determined and  certified  by  the
   54  director  of the budget, with notification to the chairman of the senate
   55  finance committee and chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.
   56  On or before May fifteenth, the board shall determine any adjustment  to
       S. 3692--B                          6
    1  the  estimated excess balance necessary to reflect the variance, if any,
    2  between such estimated excess balance  and  the  actual  excess  balance
    3  computed  as of March thirty-first, and shall certify such adjustment to
    4  the  director of the budget. The agency shall include such adjustment in
    5  the estimated excess balance  determination  for  the  following  fiscal
    6  year,  unless  otherwise  instructed  by the director of the budget. The
    7  agency shall submit to the director of the budget an  estimate  of  such
    8  operating  expenses on or before the tenth business day in March of each
    9  year and the director of the budget shall make such certification before
   10  March twentieth of each year.
   11    Upon making the determination of the  estimated  excess  balance,  the
   12  agency  shall  certify such determination to the director of the budget,
   13  the chairmen of the senate finance committee and the assembly  ways  and
   14  means  committee,  and  the comptroller. Payment of such actual or esti-
   15  mated excess balance shall be made within ninety days after March  twen-
   16  tieth. The agency shall, at the direction of the director of the budget,
   17  pay  such  estimated  or actual excess balance, if any, from the special

   19  provided,  however,  that if the aggregate amount in the special account
   20  as of such date is less than the mortgage  insurance  fund  requirement,
   21  the  agency  shall  retain  all or that portion of any such estimated or
   22  actual excess balance in such special account necessary to increase  the
   23  aggregate  amount in such special account to the mortgage insurance fund
   24  requirement. The director of the budget shall notify the chairmen of the
   25  senate finance committee and the assembly ways and means  committee  ten
   26  days prior to the issuance of the directive in respect to the payment of
   27  the estimated or actual excess balance to the general fund.
   28    Further  provided,  however,  that  the  budget to be submitted to the
   29  legislature by the governor pursuant to article seven of  the  constitu-
   30  tion  shall  separately  state  the  amount  of such estimated or actual
   31  excess balance determined as hereinabove prescribed, if any, which shall
   32  be included in the monies and revenues estimated to be available  during
   33  the current and ensuing fiscal years, respectively.

   37  manner  provided  by law, as depositories of the funds of the state. The

   39  subdivision  four  of  this section. Any interest earned or capital gain
   40  realized on the money so deposited  or  invested  shall  accrue  to  and
   41  become  part  of  such fund. The separate identity of such fund shall be
   42  maintained whether its assets consist of cash or investments or both.

   45  in, or certificates of deposit issued by, a bank, trust company, savings
   46  bank or savings and loan association located and authorized to do  busi-
   47  ness in this state, provided, however, that such time deposit account or
   48  certificate of deposit shall be payable within such time as the proceeds
   49  may be needed to meet expenditures estimated to be incurred by the agen-
   50  cy and provided further that such time deposit account or certificate of
   51  deposit  be  secured  by a pledge of obligations of the United States of
   52  America or obligations of the state, any city of  the  state,  or  other

    1  an  investment  of  funds  belonging  to them or in their control, or in
    2  obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association  provided  such
    3  obligations  shall  be  payable or redeemable at the option of the owner
    4  within  such  times  as  the proceeds may be needed to meet expenditures
    5  estimated to be incurred by the agency.
    6    MONEYS IN THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT SHALL  BE  USED  TO
    7  ACQUIRE  MORTGAGE LOANS OF THE AGENCY PENDING THE AGENCY OBTAINING LONG-
    8  TERM FINANCING FOR THE PURCHASE THEREOF, WHICH MORTGAGE LOANS  SHALL  BE

   18  purposes  of  this section, securities in which all or a portion of such
   19  fund shall be invested shall be valued at par if purchased at par, or if
   20  purchased at other than par, at amortized value. Amortized  value,  when
   21  used  with  respect  to  securities  purchased  at  a premium above or a
   22  discount below par, shall mean the value as of any given  date  obtained
   23  by dividing the total premiums or discount at which such securities were
   24  purchased  by  the  number of interest payments remaining to maturity on
   25  such securities after such purchase and by  multiplying  the  amount  so
   26  calculated  by  the number of interest payment dates having passed since
   27  the date of such purchase; and (i) in the case of  securities  purchased
   28  at  a  premium  by deducting the product thus obtained from the purchase
   29  price, and (ii) in the case of securities purchased  at  a  discount  by
   30  adding the product thus obtained to the purchase price.
   31    6. The agency may create and establish such other fund or funds as may
   32  be  necessary  or  desirable  for  the  carrying  out  of  its corporate
   33  purposes.

   49  insurance fund shall be used as a revolving fund for  carrying  out  the
   50  provisions of this title with respect to mortgages insured and TO devel-
   51  opment  corporation  support  AND  INTERIM  SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT

   53  which  may be made available to the agency for the purposes of such fund
   54  from any source, including but not limited to the moneys  received  from
   55  recording  officers  pursuant  to  the  provisions of subdivision two of
   56  section two hundred sixty-one of the tax law. The  agency  shall  credit

    4  per  centum of the amount received from the recording officers and cred-
    5  ited to the special account during the consecutive twelve  month  period
    6  ending  on the preceding December thirty-first may be used by the agency
    7  for the purpose of insuring mortgages on property  located  in  any  one
    8  region  pursuant  to  section  two thousand four hundred twenty-eight of
    9  this part PROVIDED, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR BE  APPLIED

   12  may be made available to the agency for the purposes of such  fund  from
   13  any  other  source to the special account or the development corporation
   14  credit support account OR THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING  ACCOUNT,  as
   15  appropriate.  Any  income  or  interest  earned by, or increment to, the
   16  mortgage insurance fund due to the investment thereof shall be  credited
   17  to  the special account or the development corporation credit account OR
   18  THE INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING ACCOUNT, as appropriate.
   19    S 8. Subdivision 1-a of section 2429-b of the public authorities  law,
   20  as amended by section 15 of chapter 3 of the laws of 2004, is amended to
   21  read as follows:
   22    1-a. All moneys held in the mortgage insurance fund, except as herein-
   23  after  provided,  shall  be used, as required, solely for the payment of
   24  the agency's liabilities arising from mortgages insured as  provided  in
   25  section  twenty-four  hundred  twenty-nine-a  of  this part and from the
   26  provision of development  corporation  credit  support  as  provided  in

   28  PROVISION OF INTERIM SHORT-TERM FINANCING SUPPORT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION
   29  TWENTY-FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT-B OF THIS PART; provided, however, that
   30  no moneys shall be withdrawn from any account at any time in such amount
   31  as would reduce the amount of, as applicable, the special account or the
   32  development corporation credit support account to less than its applica-
   33  ble mortgage insurance fund  requirement,  except  for  the  purpose  of
   34  paying  such  liabilities  as the same become due and for the payment of
   35  which other moneys of the agency are not available. All payments  pursu-
   36  ant  to  section  twenty-four  hundred  twenty-nine-a  of this part, and

   45  fund, as appropriate.
