§ 100425 State Health Facility Bonds

This law lets California sell up to $6.7 billion in bonds (but not the part that’s already used for refunding) to pay for school‑building projects and to pay back a special revolving fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •California can sell up to $6.7 billion in bonds for school‑building purposes.
  • •Any bonds already used for refunding are taken out of that $6.7 billion limit.
  • •The bonds are a legal promise of the state, backed by California’s full faith and credit.

Example

A local school district needs $200 million to build a new high school. The state issues and sells bonds under this law, gets the cash, and uses it to fund the construction.

The bonds are sold by the state treasurer, the money goes to the school building program, and the state promises to pay back the bond holders with interest.

How to Calculate

Issuable Bonds = $6,700,000,000 – (amount of refunding bonds already issued)

  1. Start with the maximum amount the law allows – $6,700,000,000.
  2. Find out how much of that amount has already been used for refunding bonds.
  3. Subtract the refunding‑bond amount from $6,700,000,000. The result is the amount of new bonds that can be issued.

The state has already issued $500 million in refunding bonds.

Result: $6,200,000,000 of new bonds can be issued.
