§ 16077 Multipurpose Room Apportionment Repayment
This law says that when a school district gets money for a project that includes a multipurpose room, the board must say exactly how much of that money is for the room, and the district has to pay back that part later, with interest, and the state will keep taking payments each year for up to 10 years or until it’s paid, and any leftover after 40 years is erased.
A district receives $500,000 for a new school building, and $120,000 of that is for a multipurpose room.
The board must write down that $120,000 is for the room. The district then has to repay that $120,000 principal (plus interest) over the next years. The state will deduct a payment each fiscal year until the $120,000 is paid off or 10 years have passed. If after 40 years any of that $120,000 is still unpaid, the state cancels the remaining balance.
Repayment period = the earlier of (a) the number of years needed to repay the principal amount, or (b) 10 years. After 40 years from the start of the fiscal year following the final apportionment, any unpaid principal is cancelled.
The district’s room portion is $120,000 and they choose to pay it back in equal yearly amounts over 10 years.
Result: The district pays $12,000 each fiscal year for 10 years. After the 10th payment the whole $120,000 is repaid, so no balance remains to be cancelled after 40 years.
