  Section  1. Section 352-eeee of the general business law is amended by
adding two new subdivisions 2-a and 2-b to read as follows:
  2-A. PROVIDED THAT A PLAN HAS NOT BEEN DEEMED TO  BE  ABANDONED,  VOID
AND NOT IN EFFECT AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH A OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS
SECTION,  AN  OFFEROR SHALL EXTEND THE PURCHASE PERIOD FOR AN ADDITIONAL
YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE SET FORTH IN THE OFFERING STATEMENT OR PROS-
PECTUS, REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO-E
OF THIS ARTICLE, TO TENANTS INTENDING TO PURCHASE  A  DWELLING  UNIT  IN

THE FINANCING NECESSARY TO MAKE SUCH PURCHASE DURING THE PURCHASE PERIOD
PROVIDED IN THE INITIAL OFFERING STATEMENT OR PROSPECTUS.
  2-B. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW TO THE  CONTRARY,  THE
OFFEROR SHALL NOT REQUIRE A TENANT TO SEEK ANY ADDITIONAL FINANCING UPON
PROOF  THAT  SUCH  TENANT HAS BEEN DENIED FINANCING FROM TWO INDEPENDENT
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. SUCH OWNER SHALL RETURN ANY MONIES DEPOSITED  BY
A TENANT UNABLE TO ATTAIN SUCH FINANCING.
  S  2.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
the amendments made to section 352-eeee of the general business  law  by
section  one of this act shall not affect the expiration of such section
and shall be deemed to expire therewith.
