2023 Connecticut General Statutes › Title 8 - Zoning, Planning, Housing and Economic and Community Development › Chapter 127c - Department of Housing: General Provisions › Section 8-37ss. - Housing funds consolidation. Procedures.

(a) As of the consolidation date, the commissioner shall: (1) Calculate the net available balance of each prior bond fund and the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund; and (2) calculate the total of all net available balance deficits and the total of all net available balance surpluses for all prior bond funds.
(b) On or after the calculation date the commissioner shall file with the State Bond Commission and the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of all matters relating to finance, revenue and bonding a plan for consolidation of all prior bond funds. Such plan shall request the State Bond Commission to approve: (1) The use of the total of all net available balance surpluses to pay for the total of all net available balance deficits, except to the extent the Treasurer determines that any such use could adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of the interest on any of the state's bonds; (2) the application of the net available balance of the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund to pay for net available balance deficits in prior bond funds not paid for from net available balance surpluses in prior bond funds; and (3) allocations and bond authorizations of the State Bond Commission, in accordance with section 3-20 to pay for any net available balance deficits in prior bond funds not paid for either from net available balance surpluses in prior bond funds or from the net available balance of the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund. Such plan shall also set forth the total of all reserved amounts to be transferred to the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund pursuant to subsection (c) of this section. The State Bond Commission may approve such plan notwithstanding restrictions as to the use of moneys in any prior bond fund or the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund imposed by any provision of the general statutes or any public or special act.
(c) On the consolidation date, the commissioner shall: (1) Implement the plan for consolidation described in subsection (b) of this section, applying net available balance surpluses, if any, moneys from the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund, if any, and the proceeds of allocations and bond authorizations, if any, as called for in such plan to pay for all net available balance deficits in all prior bond funds; and (2) transfer all reserved amounts to the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund, and upon such transfer, all prior bond funds shall be terminated. The commissioner shall establish such subaccounts, if any, within the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund as are determined by the commissioner, Treasurer, and Comptroller and Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to be necessary to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on any of the state's bonds or to serve the administrative convenience of the state.
(d) Following the consolidation date, notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or any public or special act or action of the State Bond Commission prior to the consolidation date, all expenditures previously approved for payment from a prior bond fund shall be paid from consolidated amounts in the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund and all revenues, payments and reimbursements that would otherwise have been deposited in a prior bond fund shall be added to the consolidated amounts in the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund.
(e) Following the consolidation date, the commissioner and secretary of the State Bond Commission shall maintain a record of consolidated amounts and reserved amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or any public or special act, the commissioner may request and the State Bond Commission may approve the reuse of any consolidated amounts that are not reserved amounts for any bond-financed state housing program, including administrative expense.
