Except as otherwise provided in subdivision two of this section, the aggregate principal amount of tax and revenue anticipation notes issued pursuant to section nine of article seven of the constitution in any fiscal year by the state and maturing in such fiscal year shall not exceed the amount of four billion seven hundred million dollars, less the aggregate principal amount of bonds and notes theretofore issued by the corporation exclusive of any bonds or notes referred to in subparagraph (i) or (iii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision eight of § 3236 (Bonds and notes of the corporation)section thirty-two hundred thirty-six of this title, or excluded by paragraph (b) of such subdivision.2.
The state may issue in any fiscal year tax and revenue anticipation notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the limit on issuance set forth in subdivision one of this section, if and only if there shall have first been executed in such fiscal year a written certificate signed by the governor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly, which shall set forth:(a)
the emergency or extraordinary factors or factors unanticipated at the time of adoption of the budget for the fiscal year in which such borrowing is to be made that gave rise to the need for the issuance of tax and revenue anticipation notes in excess of such limit, and(b)
the amount of tax and revenue anticipation notes projected to be issued in each of the three fiscal years commencing subsequent to the fiscal year in which such limit was originally exceeded, which will result in the elimination of such excess as soon as practicable but in no event later than by the end of the third fiscal year commencing subsequent to the fiscal year in which such limit was originally exceeded.3.
The need for the issuance referred to in paragraph (a) of subdivision two of this section shall be in the conclusive, final and binding discretion of the signatories to the written certificate described in subdivision two of this section and not subject to judicial challenge or review.4.
In no event shall a written certificate referred to in subdivision two of this section be issued in more than four consecutive fiscal years.5.
In the event of any inconsistency between this section and any amendment to the constitution relating to the issuance of tax and revenue anticipation notes, the provisions of such constitutional amendment shall control.6.
Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to relieve the state of its obligation to repay tax and revenue anticipation notes within one year from the date of issuance thereof.
