§ 16066 School Building Fund Disbursements

This law lets the state set aside money for school building projects even if the school building fund doesn’t have enough cash right then, and lets them pay out those amounts later, as long as they don’t touch money that must go to the General Fund or other required uses.

Key Takeaways

  • •Allocations can be made even when the fund’s balance is low.
  • •Payments can be made from the fund for final allocations even if the fund can’t cover every past allocation in full.
  • •Money that must go to the General Fund or other required uses cannot be used for these payments.

Example

A school district gets a $2 million allocation for a new gym, but the school building fund only has $1 million at that moment.

The district can still receive the $2 million allocation and later be paid from the fund even if the fund still doesn’t have enough to cover all past allocations, as long as the money isn’t needed for the General Fund or other mandatory purposes.

§ 16066 School Building Fund Disbursements

Apportionments may be made irrespective of whether there is on deposit at the time thereof a sufficient amount in the State School Building Aid Fund to permit the payment of the apportionments. Disbursements may be made under any apportionment which heretofore or hereafter becomes final from any funds in the State School Building Aid Fund without regard to whether there exists at the time of the disbursement a sufficient amount in the fund to permit the payment in full of all apportionments previously made. However, no disbursements shall be made from any funds in the State School Building Aid Fund required by law to be transferred to the General Fund, or from any moneys therein which the Controller deems necessary to satisfy appropriations from the fund for purposes other than apportionments. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997. Operative January 1, 1998.)
