§ 13311 University Payment Deferral Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can delay paying up to $500 million to the University of California to manage money better.
  • •The delayed payment must be made by May or June of the same year.
  • •This rule helps the state handle its cash flow without breaking other laws.

Example

Imagine the state has a big bill to pay the University of California in January, but it doesn’t have enough cash right then.

The state can wait to pay up to $500 million of that bill until May or June. This gives the state time to gather enough money without causing big problems.
