474A.131 NOTICE OF ISSUE AND NOTICE OF CARRYFORWARD.
    Subdivision 1. Notice of issue. Each issuer that issues bonds with an allocation received
under this chapter shall provide a notice of issue to the department on forms provided by the
department stating:
(1) the date of issuance of the bonds;
(2) the title of the issue;
(3) the principal amount of the bonds;
(4) the type of qualified bonds under federal tax law;
(5) the dollar amount of the bonds issued that were subject to the annual volume cap; and
(6) for entitlement issuers, whether the allocation is from current year entitlement authority
or is from carryforward authority.
For obligations that are issued as a part of a series of obligations, a notice must be provided
for each series. A penalty of one-half of the amount of the application deposit not to exceed
$5,000 shall apply to any issue of obligations for which a notice of issue is not provided to the
department within five business days after issuance or before 4:30 p.m. on the last business
day in December, whichever occurs first. Within 30 days after receipt of a notice of issue the
department shall refund a portion of the application deposit equal to one percent of the amount of
the bonding authority actually issued if a one percent application deposit was made, or equal to
two percent of the amount of the bonding authority actually issued if a two percent application
deposit was made, less any penalty amount.
    Subd. 1a. Certificate of notice. If an allocation received under this chapter is used for
mortgage credit certificates, a certificate notice must be submitted to the department on forms
provided by the department stating the date of the filing of the election not to issue bonds as
provided under section 25, paragraph (c), of the Internal Revenue Code and the amount of
allocation authority to be used under the program.
A penalty of one-half of the amount of the application deposit not to exceed $5,000 shall
apply to any mortgage credit certificate program for which a certificate notice is not provided
to the department within five days of the date of the filing of the election not to issue bonds or
before the last Monday in December, whichever occurs first. Within 30 days after receipt of a
certificate notice the department shall refund a portion of the application deposit equal to one
percent of the amount of the bonding authority to be used for the mortgage credit certificate
program, less any penalty amount.
    Subd. 1b. Deadline for issuance of qualified bonds. If an issuer fails to notify the department
before 4:30 p.m. on the last business day in December of issuance of obligations pursuant to an
allocation received for any qualified bond project or issuance of an entitlement allocation, the
allocation is canceled and the bonding authority is allocated to the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency for carryforward by the commissioner under section 474A.091, subdivision 6.
    Subd. 2. Carryforward notice. If an issuer intends to carry forward an allocation received
under this chapter, it must notify the department in writing before 4:30 p.m. on the last business
day in December. This notice requirement does not apply to the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency for the carryforward of unallocated unified pool balances.
    Subd. 3. Irrevocable allocation. The department may not revoke an allocation received
under this chapter after receiving a notice of issue or certificate notice from the issuer.
