        A. 9021--D                          2
 
     1    § 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new  section  2874-b
     2  to read as follows:
     3    §  2874-b.  Refinancing  mortgage  loans  to eligible secured hospital
     4  borrowers. 1. Eligible secured hospital borrowers, as defined in  subdi-

     5  vision three-b of section twenty-eight hundred seventy-two of this arti-
     6  cle,  shall  be  authorized to refinance any mortgage loan financed with
     7  the  proceeds  of  special  hospital  project  bonds,  which  loans  are
     8  outstanding  as  of the effective date of this section.  A mortgage loan
     9  to an eligible secured hospital  borrower,  as  defined  in  subdivision
    10  three-b  of  section  twenty-eight  hundred seventy-two of this article,
    11  made by the medical care facilities finance agency,  and  any  successor
    12  thereto,  may be refinanced for a term not longer than the term approved
    13  by the commissioner pursuant to this section or if the bonds  issued  to
    14  finance  such mortgage loan are issued as tax-exempt bonds, such shorter

    15  term as is necessary to assure that the  interest  on  bonds  issued  to
    16  refinance  the mortgage loan will be excludable from the gross income of
    17  the holders thereof for federal tax purposes, provided that in no  event
    18  shall the term of such refinancing loan exceed the remaining term of the
    19  bonds  being  refunded  and  shall include all costs associated with the
    20  refinancing of indebtedness. All refinancing  applications  by  eligible
    21  secured  hospital  borrowers  shall  be approved by the eligible secured
    22  hospital borrower's board and the commissioner.  Such refinancing appli-
    23  cations shall include analytical evidence sufficient to demonstrate that
    24  the proposed refinancing is being  undertaken  for  the  furtherance  of

    25  sustaining,  maintaining  and  improving  the financial condition of the
    26  hospital. Such evidence shall include but is not limited to:   financial
    27  pro  formas that project the borrower's revenues, expenses and financial
    28  position for life of the bonds; the maximum maturity  of  the  refunding
    29  bonds  do not exceed the maturity of the bonds to be refunded; net pres-
    30  ent value savings of at least two percent  of  the  par  amount  of  the
    31  refunded  bonds  and net present value savings of at least two times the
    32  refunding bonds total cost of issuance, including underwriter's discount
    33  and credit enhancement; or any other analysis or information the commis-
    34  sioner deems necessary to evaluate the application.  As a  condition  of

    35  such prior approval, the commissioner shall approve the principal amount
    36  of  the  refinancing,  and  shall  require the eligible secured hospital
    37  borrower to give the department a written undertaking, acceptable to the
    38  commissioner, that it will not claim additional reimbursement under  the
    39  medical  assistance program as established under title eleven of article
    40  five of the social services law due to interest payments on  refinancing
    41  indebtedness.  Any  such  additional  interest  payments  on  refinanced
    42  indebtedness covered by such written undertaking shall not be considered
    43  as allowable costs under the medical assistance program and shall not be
    44  included in reimbursement rates of payment under article twenty-eight of

    45  this chapter. Such refinancing shall be subject to section fifty-one  of
    46  the public authorities law.
    47    2.  The use of all savings resulting from the refinancing of an eligi-
    48  ble secured hospital borrower's mortgage loan by the issuance of refund-
    49  ing bonds, including original issue premium, shall  be  subject  to  the
    50  prior approval of the commissioner.
    51    §  3.  Subdivision  3  of section 3 of section 1 of chapter 392 of the
    52  laws of 1973, constituting the New York state  medical  care  facilities

    42  service reserve fund or funds and pay into such  fund  or  funds  moneys

    45  outstanding  indebtedness on special hospital projects bonds, as defined

    46  in paragraph (d-1) of subdivision three of section three of this act.
