§ 100900 Bond Issuance For State Funds

This law lets California sell up to $2.3 billion in bonds (but not the money from any refund bonds) to pay for higher‑education projects and to pay back a special fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •California can sell up to $2.3 billion in bonds for higher‑education projects.
  • •Money from refunding bonds does not count toward that $2.3 billion limit.
  • •The bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the state, so they must be paid back with interest.

Example

A state university needs $150 million to build a new library.

The university can get that money from the bonds allowed by this law, because the bonds are meant to fund things like new campus buildings.

How to Calculate

Authorized Bond Amount = $2,300,000,000 – (amount of refunding bonds issued)

  1. Start with the total limit of $2.3 billion.
  2. Find out how much money has been taken out for refunding bonds (these don’t count toward the limit).
  3. Subtract the refunding‑bond amount from $2.3 billion. The result is the amount of new bonds that can be sold.

The state has already issued $200 million in refunding bonds.

Result: $2,100,000,000 of new bonds can still be sold.
