§ 100825 Bond Issuance For Funding

This law lets California sell up to ten billion dollars in bonds (but not the part that’s for refunding old bonds) to pay for school‑building projects and to pay back a special state fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •California can sell up to $10 billion in new bonds for school‑building purposes.
  • •Any bonds that are just refinancing old debt (refunding bonds) are not counted against the $10 billion limit.
  • •The bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the State of California, meaning the state promises to pay back the principal and interest.

Example

A school district needs money to build a new elementary school. The state issues bonds under this law, raises the cash, and uses it to pay for the construction.

Because the law allows the state to sell bonds up to $10 billion, the money raised can be used for the school’s building costs, and the state promises to pay back the bond holders with interest.

How to Calculate

Authorized bond amount = $10,000,000,000 – (amount of refunding bonds issued)

  1. Start with the maximum limit of $10 billion.
  2. Find out how much money has already been issued as refunding bonds.
  3. Subtract the refunding‑bond amount from $10 billion.
  4. The result is the amount of new bonds that can still be issued.

The state has already issued $2 billion of refunding bonds.

Result: Authorized bond amount = $10,000,000,000 – $2,000,000,000 = $8,000,000,000
