§ 1-11-560 — Time limits on allocations.

(A) Any state ceiling allocation approved by the state authority is valid only for the calendar year in which it is approved, unless eligible and approved for carry-forward election or unless specified differently in the certificates required by Section 1-11-550. (B) Unless eligible and approved for carry-forward election or unless specified differently in certificates required by Section 1-11-550, each state ceiling allocation expires automatically if the bonds for which the allocation is made are not issued within ninety consecutive calendar days from the date the allocation is approved by the state authority. (C) In response to a written request by the chairman or other duly authorized official or agent of an issuing authority, the state authority, acting during the period an approved allocation is valid, may but need not extend the period in which an allocation is valid in a single calendar year by thirty-one consecutive calendar days to a total of not more than one hundred twenty-one consecutive calendar days. (D) In response to a written request by the chairman or other authorized official or agent of an issuing authority, the state authority may but need not reinstate for a period of not more than thirty-one consecutive calendar days in any one calendar year part or all of an allocation approved but not extended previously in accordance with subsection (C) of this section in that same calendar year which has expired. The reinstatement request must certify that the authorized request previously submitted is still true and correct or a new authorized request must be submitted. (E) A tentative ceiling allocation is canceled automatically if the chairman or other authorized official or agent of the issuing authority fails to deliver the issue amount certificate required by Section 1-11-550 to the secretary of the state authority before the bonds for which the allocation is made are issued. (F) The chairman or other authorized official or agent of an issuing authority shall advise the secretary of the state authority in writing as soon as is practicable after a decision is made not to issue bonds for which a portion of the state ceiling has been allocated. All notices of relinquishment of ceiling allocations must be entered promptly in the state authority's records by the secretary of the state authority. (G) Ceiling allocations which are eligible and approved for carry-forward election are not subject to the validity limits of this section. The state authority shall join with the issuing authorities involved in carry-forward election statements to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.
