§  41.  Power to issue authority bonds.  1. An authority may from time  to time for any of the purposes of this chapter borrow money  and  issue  bonds in conformity with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial  code in such amounts and upon such terms as it may deem advisable. Bonds  for  state  projects  and  for  projects,  other  than federal projects,  financed without a loan from a government may be issued for periods  not  exceeding  fifty  years and for a period not exceeding the probable life  of the project which said period shall be calculated from  the  date  of  the  bonds.  Bonds for projects financed with the aid of municipal loans  may be issued for  periods  not  exceeding  the  probable  life  of  the  project.  Bonds  for  federal  projects  may  be issued for a period not  exceeding sixty years. An authority  shall  also  have  power  to  issue  refunding  bonds  for the purpose of paying or retiring bonds previously  issued by it but no such refunding bonds shall  mature  later  than  the  expiration  of  the  maximum period permitted by this subdivision at the  time of the issuance of the bonds to be refunded  for  the  project  for  which  such  bonds  were  issued.    Such  period  shall be construed to  commence from the date of issuance of the bonds to be refunded.    2. An authority is authorized  to  issue,  whenever  it  may  deem  it  necessary  so  to  do, notes in conformity with applicable provisions of  the uniform commercial code without limitation as to the rate  or  rates  of  interest  in anticipation of the sale of bonds of which a government  shall have agreed to purchase at least eighty per centum or which  shall  have   been  authorized  at  the  time  such  notes  are  issued  or  in  anticipation of a loan which a government shall have agreed to  make  to  the authority. Such notes shall mature within a period not to exceed one  year  from  the date of their issue but may be made subject to the right  of earlier payment. The proceeds of the sale of such notes shall be used  only for the purposes for which may be used the proceeds of the sale  of  bonds or of the loan in anticipation of which the notes were issued. Any  such notes may be renewed or may be refunded through the sale of similar  notes  but  no such renewal or refunding notes shall be issued after the  sale of bonds. Such notes, renewal notes or refunding notes shall,  with  the  interest  thereon,  if  any, be paid from funds made available by a  government pursuant to agreement for the purchase of bonds or the making  of a loan, or from the proceeds of the sale of the bonds in anticipation  of the sale of which the notes were issued or, in the event of the  sale  of  the  project  with respect to which such notes were issued, from the  purchase price paid to the authority by the purchaser of  such  project.  Such  notes,  renewal  notes  or  refunding  notes shall mature within a  period not to exceed one year beyond  the  maturity  date  of  the  last  maturing  notes  outstanding  on  the date when the authority or, in the  case of state projects, the commissioner, makes the  determination  that  the  project  has  been  completed  and  that  the project cost has been  finally determined, which determination shall be conclusive in any suit,  action or proceeding upon such notes, renewal notes or refunding  notes.  The   total  amount  of  such  notes  or  renewals  thereof  issued  and  outstanding shall at no time exceed the total amount of bonds of which a  government shall have agreed to purchase at least eighty per  centum  or  which shall have been authorized to be issued or the total amount of the  loan  which a government shall have agreed to make to the authority. The  foregoing limitations upon the time of payment of notes shall not at any  time apply to notes or other obligations  which  may  be  issued  by  an  authority  to a government in anticipation of the sale of bonds of which  such government shall have agreed to purchase at least eighty per centum  or in anticipation of a loan which such government shall have agreed  to  make  to the authority. Except as in this section expressly provided, an  authority shall, in addition to its other powers, have the  same  powersin  connection  with the issuance and securing the payments of its notes  as it has in connection with the issuance and securing  payment  of  its  bonds.    2-a.   In  connection  with  a  federal  project,  an  authority  may,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subdivision two of  this setcion, issue notes or renewal or refunding  notes  in  conformity  with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial code after the sale  of  bonds  for  such project and without regard to the limitations as to  time of issuance or payment set forth in such subdivision, provided: (a)  the total amount of such notes or renewal or refunding notes issued  and  outstanding shall at no time exceed the difference between the estimated  project  cost  if issued prior to the date of physical completion of the  project or the project cost  if  issued  thereafter  and  the  principal  amount  of  the  bonds theretofore issued for such project; and (b) such  notes or renewal or refunding notes are secured by an agreement  between  the   authority   and   the   federal   government   or  any  agency  on  instrumentality thereof pursuant to which the authority agrees to borrow  from such government or agency  or  instrumentality  thereof,  and  such  government  or  agency  or instrumentality thereof agrees to lend to the  authority at or prior to the maturity of such notes, monies in an amount  which (together with any  other  monies  irrevocably  committed  to  the  payment of principal of or interest on such notes) will be sufficient to  pay the principal of such notes with interest thereon to maturity, which  monies  under the terms of such agreement are required to be used by the  authority for the purpose of paying the principal  of  and  interest  on  such  notes  at  their  maturity. Every note issued in connection with a  federal project which is not refunded and any renewals thereof and every  refunding note  and  any  renewals  thereof  shall,  with  the  interest  thereon, if any, be paid either from funds made available by the federal  government or agency or instrumentality thereof pursuant to an agreement  for  the  purchase  of  bonds  or the making of a loan or the payment of  annual contributions, or from the proceeds of the sale of the  bonds  in  anticipation of the sale of which the notes were issued.    3.  The  authority  may  issue  its  interim  certificates,  or  other  temporary obligations, in conformity with applicable provisions  of  the  uniform   commercial  code,  to  the  purchaser  of  bonds  pending  the  authorization, preparation, execution or delivery of  definitive  bonds.  Such  interim  certificates, or other temporary obligations, shall be in  such form, contain such terms, conditions and provisions, bear such date  or dates, and evidence such agreements relating to  their  discharge  or  payment  or  the  delivery  of  definitive bonds as the authority may by  resolution determine.    4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained  in  subdivision  two  of  this section respecting limitations upon the time of payment of  notes, renewal notes or refunding notes, such notes may be issued during  the period that negotiations for the sale of a project pursuant  to  the  provisions  of the public housing law or the private housing finance law  are pending, but such notes shall not be renewed or refunded beyond  the  maturity  date  of  the  last  maturing notes outstanding on the date of  transfer of title to such project by the  authority  to  the  purchaser.  Negotiations  for the sale of a project shall be deemed to be pending if  the authority shall have  adopted  a  resolution  determining  that  the  negotiations   for  the  sale  of  such  project  are  pending.  If  the  negotiations for such sale are thereafter abandoned, such notes, renewal  notes or refunding notes shall mature within a period not to exceed  one  year  beyond the maturity date of the last maturing notes outstanding on  the date determined by resolution adopted by the authority as  the  date  when  negotiations for the sale of the project were abandoned, or withina period not to exceed one year beyond the maturity  date  of  the  last  maturing  notes  outstanding  on the date when the determination is made  pursuant to subdivision two of this section that the  project  has  been  completed  and  that  the  project  cost  has  been  finally determined,  whichever period is longer.
