Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 7C.4A, subsections 4, 5, and 6, Code
  1  2 1997, are amended to read as follows:
  1  3    4.  Sixteen Twenty percent of the state ceiling shall be
  1  4 allocated to qualified small issue bonds issued for first-time
  1  5 farmers.  However, at any time during the calendar year the
  1  6 governor's designee, with the approval of the Iowa
  1  7 agricultural development authority, may determine that a
  1  8 lesser amount need be allocated to qualified small issue bonds
  1  9 for first-time farmers and on that date this lesser amount
  1 10 shall be the amount allocated for those bonds and the excess
  1 11 shall be allocated under subsection 6.
  1 12    5.  During the period of January 1 through October 25, five
  1 13 percent of the state ceiling shall be reserved for private
  1 14 activity bonds issued by political subdivisions, the proceeds
  1 15 of which are used by the issuing political subdivisions.
  1 16    6.  a.  The amount of the state ceiling not allocated under
  1 17 subsections 1 through 4, and after October 25, the amount of
  1 18 the state ceiling reserved under subsection 5 and not
  1 19 allocated, shall be allocated to all bonds requiring an
  1 20 allocation under section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code
  1 21 without priority for any type of bond over another, except as
  1 22 otherwise provided in sections 7C.5 and 7C.11.
  1 23    b.  The population of the state shall be determined in
  1 24 accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.
  1 25    Sec. 2.  Section 7C.5, Code 1997, is amended to read as
  1 26 follows:
  1 27    7C.5  FORMULA FOR ALLOCATION.
  1 28    Except as provided in section 7C.4A, subsections 1 through
  1 29 4, the state ceiling shall be allocated among all political
  1 30 subdivisions on a statewide basis on the basis of the
  1 31 chronological orders of receipt by the governor's designee of
  1 32 the applications described in section 7C.6 with respect to a
  1 33 definitive issue of bonds, as determined by the day, hour, and
  1 34 minute time-stamped on the application immediately upon
  1 35 receipt by the governor's designee.  However, for the period
  2  1 January 1 through October 25 of each year, allocations to
  2  2 bonds for which an amount of the state ceiling has been
  2  3 reserved pursuant to section 7C.4A, subsection 5, shall be
  2  4 made to the political subdivisions submitting the applications
  2  5 first from the reserved amount until the reserved amount has
  2  6 been fully allocated and then from the amount specified in
  2  7 section 7C.4A, subsection 6.  
  2  8                           EXPLANATION
  2  9    Iowa Code section 7C.4A allocates a ceiling among the
  2 10 various governmental units which are authorized to issue
  2 11 private activity bonds under the laws of this state.  The
  2 12 section allocates a percentage of the state ceiling for a
  2 13 number of public purposes, including housing, job training,
  2 14 and education.  Sixteen percent of the state ceiling is
  2 15 allocated to qualified small issue bonds issued for first-time
  2 16 farmers, under programs administered by the agricultural
  2 17 development authority.  This bill increases the allocation to
  2 18 20 percent of the state ceiling.  The bill eliminates a
  2 19 provision allocating five percent of the state ceiling for the
  2 20 issuance of private activity bonds by political subdivisions
  2 21 authorized to issue such bonds.
