§ 100140 School Bond Issuance Authority

This law lets two state committees decide if they should sell bonds to pay for school and college building projects, and tells them they can sell the bonds in pieces over time.

Key Takeaways

  • •The School Building Finance Committee and the Higher Education Facilities Finance Committee decide if bonds are needed for building projects.
  • •They can issue bonds in several smaller issues, not all at once.
  • •Bond issuance must match the money the legislature approved in the annual budget.

Example

The state wants to build a new high school. The State School Building Finance Committee looks at the money needed, decides whether to sell bonds, and if so, how much, then sells the bonds gradually until the project is funded.

The committee checks the request, decides if bonds are needed, picks an amount, and can issue the bonds in several rounds instead of all at once.

§ 100140 School Bond Issuance Authority

(a) Upon request of the State Allocation Board from time to time, supported by a statement of the apportionments made and to be made for the purposes described in Sections 100015, 100020, 100025, 100030, and 100035, the State School Building Finance Committee created pursuant to Section 15909 shall determine whether or not it is necessary or desirable to issue bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter in order to fund the apportionments and, if so, the amount of bonds to be issued and sold. Successive issues of bonds may be authorized and sold to fund those apportionments progressively, and it is not necessary that all of the bonds authorized to be issued be sold at any one time. (b) The Higher Education Facilities Finance Committee created pursuant to Section 67353 shall authorize the issuance of bonds under this chapter only to the extent necessary to fund the apportionments for the purposes described in Section 100120 that are expressly authorized by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Pursuant to that legislative direction, the committee shall determine whether or not it is necessary or desirable to issue bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter in order to carry out the actions specified in Section 100120 and, if so, the amount of bonds to be issued and sold. Successive issues of bonds may be authorized and sold to carry out those actions progressively, and it is not necessary that all of the bonds authorized to be issued be sold at any one time. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 1, Sec. 1. Approved in Proposition 203 at the March 26, 1996, election.)
