§ 90016 Revenue Bond Issuance Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can sell special bonds to raise money for projects, but these bonds are not the state's problem.
  • •If the project doesn't make enough money, the state or the board doesn't have to pay back the bonds.
  • •The bonds only get paid back from the money the project makes, not from other state funds.
  • •Each bond will clearly say that the state is not responsible for paying it back.

Example

Imagine the board builds a toll bridge and sells bonds to pay for it.

If the toll bridge doesn’t make enough money from tolls, the state doesn’t have to pay back the bonds. Only the toll money can be used to pay back the bonds. The state’s other money is safe.

§ 90016 Revenue Bond Issuance Rules

The board shall issue revenue bonds and revenue bond anticipation notes in its name and as its obligation, but no bond or note issued or sold pursuant to this article shall be or become a lien, charge, or liability against the State of California or against the board or against the property or funds of either, except, in the case of revenue bonds, to the extent of the pledge of revenues or part of revenues of the project, as may be provided by the indenture pursuant to which revenue bonds are issued, and, in the case of notes, to the extent of the pledge of revenues of the project and proceeds of the sale of bonds, as may be provided in the resolution or indenture authorizing the issuance of the notes. Each of these bonds and notes issued by the board shall contain a recital on the face thereof, stating that neither the payment of the principal nor any part thereof, nor any interest thereon, constitutes a debt, liability, or obligation of the State of California. (Amended by Stats. 2007, Ch. 352, Sec. 5. Effective January 1, 2008.)
