(a) Mortgage guarantee fund. In addition to the uses provided in Section 24-1A-43, commencing on March 3, 2014, the mortgage guarantee fund established by the Alabama Home Buyers Initiative Act, including all funds appropriated for the mortgage guarantee fund and all interest or investment earnings thereon, shall be made available to fund alternative housing programs in accordance with this section, and Sections 24-1A-41.1 and 24-1A-42.
(b) Investment income on mortgage guarantee fund. All interest or investment income, if any, on funds deposited in the mortgage guarantee fund shall be credited to, and shall remain part of, the mortgage guarantee fund.
(c) Establishment of alternative housing programs. In order to establish an alternative housing program, the program administrator shall certify in writing to the State Treasurer that: (1) There is a specific dollar amount of funds on deposit in the mortgage guarantee fund, up to and including the full amount then on deposit in the mortgage guarantee fund, that is available to be used for an alternative housing program, the certified amount; (2) There is an alternative housing program for which the certified amount can be used; and (3) The designation assigned by the program administrator to the alternative housing program in order to differentiate it from other alternative housing programs. The State Treasurer’s receipt of a written certification from the program administrator containing the above statements, without further detail, shall be sufficient for purposes of this section and Sections 24-1A-41.1 and 24-1A-42 to establish an alternative housing program and to make the certified amount available to fund such program, and the State Treasurer shall have no obligation to review or approve any alternative housing program so certified. The State Treasurer, in his or her discretion, may establish a separate account within the mortgage guarantee fund for each alternative housing program established under this subsection, which account shall be funded solely from existing money on deposit in the mortgage guarantee fund in an amount equal to the certified amount for the alternative housing program for which such account is established.
(d) Funding of alternative housing programs. If the program administrator provides a written certification to the Comptroller that: (1) requests a specific amount of funding from the mortgage guarantee fund; (2) identifies by assigned designation the alternative housing program for which the funding is requested; (3) specifies the name and address of the payee to whom such amount shall be paid; and (4) certifies that the amount of funding being requested for the alternative housing program, together with the aggregate amount of all prior funding requested for such program, does not exceed the certified amount with respect to the alternative housing program being funded, then the Comptroller shall issue a warrant in the amount requested payable to the payee specified by the program administrator.
(e) Modification of certified amounts. The program administrator, at any time, may deliver a written certification to the Comptroller that increases, decreases, or terminates the certified amount with respect to any alternative housing program; provided, however, that the certified amount for any alternative housing program may not be reduced under any circumstances to an amount less than the aggregate amount payable under the then outstanding warrants issued by the Comptroller, including any warrants that have been requested but not yet issued, with respect to such alternative housing program.
(f) Modification of alternative housing programs. The program administrator, in his or her sole discretion, may modify, amend, expand, reduce, or otherwise alter any alternative housing program being funded under this section and Sections 24-1A-41.1 and 24-1A-42 without notice to, consent from, or any other action by the State Treasurer or Comptroller so long as the alternative housing program, as modified, constitutes an alternative housing program within the meaning of this section and Sections 24-1A-41.1 and 24-1A-42.
(g) Availability of mortgage guarantee fund. The mortgage guarantee fund shall remain available until it is depleted through the funding of alternative housing programs.
