N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2762: Moneys of the authority

§ 2762. Moneys of the authority. All moneys of the authority from

whatever source derived shall be paid to the treasurer of the authority

and shall be deposited forthwith in a bank or banks designated by the

authority. The moneys in such accounts shall be paid out on check of the

treasurer upon requisition by such person or persons as the authority

may authorize to make such requisitions. All deposits of such moneys

shall be secured by obligations of the United States or of the state or

of any municipality of a market value equal at all times to the amount

on deposit and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such

security for such deposits. To the extent practicable, consistent with

the cash requirements of the authority, all such moneys shall be

deposited in interest bearing accounts. The authority shall have power,

notwithstanding the provisions of this section, to contract with the

holders of any bonds as to the custody, collection, security, investment

and payment of any moneys of the authority or any moneys held in trust

or otherwise for the payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds, and

carry out any such contract notwithstanding that such contract may be

inconsistent with the provisions of this section. Moneys held in trust

or otherwise for the payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds and

deposits of such moneys may be secured in the same manner as moneys of

the authority and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give

such security for such deposits. Any moneys of the authority not

required for immediate use or disbursement may, at the discretion of the

authority, be invested in those obligations specified pursuant to the

provisions of section ninety-eight-a of the state finance law. Subject

to the provisions of any contract with bondholders and with the approval

of the comptroller, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts.
