Carry-forward election, procedure

On or after December fifteenth of each year, the director may, in his discretion, approve a carry-forward election with respect to an approved allocation or any extension thereof if the issuer, in writing, requests such action and indicates that the bonds for which the approved application was granted cannot be issued in the calendar year in which such allocation was granted. Such approved carry-forward election shall be made by the issuer by means of a statement, signed by a duly authorized official of such issuer. Such statement shall be filed with the director and with the Internal Revenue Service prior to the end of such calendar year in accordance with section 146(f) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. An issuer may elect to carry forward such issuing authority only for qualified mortgage bonds, exempt facility bonds, industrial revenue bonds, mortgage credit certificates, qualified student loan bonds, qualified redevelopment bonds, as such terms are defined in sections 142, 143 and 144 of the Code, or for bonds to finance a project described in section 141(d)(1)(A) of the Code. In no event shall such carry-forward be effective for a period longer than permitted by section 146(f) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The director shall not approve an allocation for private activity bonds to be issued for the purpose of financing a project described in section 1317(3)(F)(ii) of the federal Tax Reform Act of 1986 unless such bonds are to be issued after December 31, 1989.
