§ 101050 Bond Issuance For Funding

This law lets California sell up to $1.58 billion in bonds (not counting any refunding bonds) to fund higher‑education projects and to pay back a special bond‑expense fund. The bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the state.

Key Takeaways

  • •California can issue up to $1.58 billion in bonds for higher‑education facilities.
  • •Refunding bonds (re‑issued to replace older bonds) are not counted against this limit.
  • •The state’s full faith and credit guarantee means the bonds are a solid, reliable investment.
  • •The Treasurer sells the bonds whenever needed to cover approved spending.

Example

The state needs money to build a new science building at a public university. It issues $200 million of the authorized bonds, sells them to investors, and uses the cash to pay for construction. Later, the state repays the investors with interest, just like any other loan.
