  • Allows local agencies and other issuers to apply to the commissioner for allocations from the statewide bond reserve if their initial allocation is insufficient and the funds are reasonably expected to be used within the calendar year
  • Requires issuers of qualified small issue bonds to list new employment opportunities with the New York State Department of Labor and give preference consideration to workforce investment program participants
