§ 13-805.

    (a)    All allocations of the Maryland State ceiling previously made during any calendar year shall automatically revert to the Secretary’s reserve on October 1 of such calendar year except with respect to allocations for which:

        (3)    The issuer has transferred its allocation to a State issuer under § 13-803(c) of this subtitle.

    (b)    All allocations of the Maryland State ceiling for bonds to be issued in a public offering which did not revert to the Secretary’s reserve on October 1 because of subsection (a)(2) of this section shall revert to the Secretary’s reserve on November 15 of the same year if the bonds are not issued on or before November 14 of such year.

    (c)    The unused balance of the initial allocation to the Community Development Administration under § 13-802(3) of this subtitle shall be reallocated from the Secretary’s reserve to the Community Development Administration.

The failure of any such notice being given as required by this paragraph may not adversely affect the validity of any allocation made by the Secretary under this subtitle or of any bonds issued pursuant to this subtitle.

        (2)    All requests for a carry-forward allocation shall be submitted to the Secretary with such justifications and other information as the Secretary may require.

        (3)    The Secretary may provide for carry-forward allocations to the extent permitted by the Code.
