NY Pub Auth L § 1232 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBA - Public Authorities Article 5 - Public Utility Authorities Title 10-D - Nassau County Sewer and Storm Water Finance Authority 1232 - Legislative Intent.

§  1232.  Legislative  intent. The state legislature hereby recognizes   that the creation of a Nassau  county  sewer  and  storm  water  finance   authority  will be an effective mechanism to achieve substantial savings   for past and prospective sewer  and  storm  water  capital  investments.   Moreover,  such  authority will help ensure the health and well-being of   all Nassau county residents and promote local environmental  protection.   As  such, the state legislature herein effectuates these laudable public   purposes through the establishment of said authority  for  the  specific   and  limited  objective of refinancing outstanding sewer and storm water   debt issued by or on behalf of the county and financing future sewer and   storm water projects. In no manner is this legislation designed to alter   the county's  administration  or  delivery  of  sewer  and  storm  water   services to county residents nor is the authority intended to impose any   additional  pecuniary  burden  on its ratepayers. As a vehicle expressly   created to consolidate existing sewer districts, refinance debt, provide   a means for financing new debt and prepare  for  pending  federal  storm   water  regulatory requirements, the authority will serve as an important   tool to aid the county's fiscal recovery and benefit  county  taxpayers.   Further,  the State legislature recognizes that the enactment of chapter   three hundred fourteen of the laws of two thousand three, extending  the   oversight capacity of the Nassau county interim finance authority (NIFA)   through  calendar  year two thousand seven, together with the chapter of   the laws of two  thousand  three  which  added  this  title,  offers  an   opportunity  for  NIFA to continue financing the county's tax certiorari   settlements, thereby providing additional budgetary  relief  and  fiscal   stability.
