§ 101447 Higher Education Bond Financing

This law lets the college board borrow money from a special state fund to pay for projects, but only up to the amount of bonds they plan to sell and after any earlier loans are taken into account.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can request a short‑term loan from the Pooled Money Investment Board.
  • •The loan amount can’t be bigger than the unsold bonds approved for the project, after subtracting any existing unpaid loans.
  • •The board must sign all paperwork and repay the loan, and the borrowed money is placed in the 2024 Capital Outlay Bond Fund.

Example

A community college wants to start building a new library but the bond sale that will fund it hasn't happened yet.

The board can ask the Pooled Money Investment Board for a short‑term loan to start the construction. The loan can only be as big as the bonds they expect to sell, minus any money they already borrowed and haven’t paid back. When the bonds are sold, the loan is repaid and the money goes into the 2024 Capital Outlay Bond Fund for the college to use.
