§ 16787 Refunding Bond Debt Reporting

Key Takeaways

  • •The state must list all its big loans (bonds) in reports, even if some are being replaced by new loans.
  • •If the state has set aside enough money to pay off an old loan, that loan doesn’t count in the total anymore.
  • •The report should only show the loans that the state still has to pay from its main money pot.

Example

Imagine you have two credit cards. You move the debt from the old card to a new one but still owe the same amount. You also have some savings set aside to pay off the old card.

The state’s report would show both cards at first, but then subtract the old card’s debt because the money to pay it is already saved up. Only the new card’s debt (or what’s left) counts in the final total.

§ 16787 Refunding Bond Debt Reporting

In any report of outstanding general obligation bonds or bonded debt of the state, the Controller shall include both refunding bonds and bonds which have been refunded but not yet retired, but shall in the same report deduct either the refunded bonds, for the retirement of which sufficient moneys or securities have been deposited in the Refunding Escrow Fund, or the refunding bonds, if interest thereon is pledged to be paid from moneys or securities deposited in the Refunding Escrow Fund until the redemption or payment of the bonds to be refunded, so as to show the net total of bonds or bonded debt to be paid from the General Fund or future revenues of the state other than the income from the investment of the Refunding Escrow Fund. (Added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1030, Sec. 3.)
