§ 19251 Bond Issuance State Law

This law says that the rules from the State General Obligation Bond Law are automatically used for any bonds this article lets the state issue, unless the article says something different.

Key Takeaways

  • •The State General Obligation Bond Law is automatically applied to bonds covered by this article.
  • •All the provisions of that bond law are treated as if they were written right here.
  • •Only if the article specifically says otherwise can a different rule be used.

Example

A city wants to raise money by selling bonds to build a new library.

Because of this law, the city has to follow all the same rules that the State General Obligation Bond Law sets for how the bonds are sold, paid back, and managed, unless the article gives a special exception.
