Chapter 107 - State Institution Bonds
Section 59-107-160. Sale of bonds.

State institution bonds may be privately placed if the terms and conditions of such disposition shall be approved by resolution duly adopted by the State Fiscal Accountability Authority and the terms of such proposal meet the financial test prescribed in the second paragraph of this section.

All other state institution bonds shall be sold by the Governor and the State Treasurer upon sealed proposals, after publication of notice of the sale one or more times at least ten days before the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the State and also in a financial paper published in New York City which regularly publishes notices of sale of state or municipal bonds. In all calls for bids, the right shall be reserved to reject all bids and readvertise for the sale of the bonds. Upon the opening of bids the Governor and the State Treasurer shall determine the most advantageous bid, and if such bid produces principal and interest payments on such proposed issue which are in compliance with the provisions outlined in paragraph (3) of Section 59-107-50, they may award the state institution bonds on such bid, at a price not less than par and accrued interest to the date of delivery. For the purpose of bringing about a successful sale of such bonds, the State Fiscal Accountability Authority may do all things ordinarily and customarily done in connection with the sale of state or municipal bonds. All expenses incident to the sale of the bonds shall be paid from the proceeds of the bonds.
