§ 17275 Warrant Interest Accrual Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Interest on a registered warrant goes to the person who owns it when it's paid back.
  • •A registered warrant stops earning interest on the earliest of these dates: the date written on it, the date it's paid back (with proper notice), or the date it's used to pay taxes.
  • •If the warrant is used to pay taxes, it stops earning interest on that day.

Example

You have a registered warrant that earns interest. The state announces it will pay back the warrant in 5 days.

The warrant will stop earning interest on the day it's paid back, as long as the state gave at least 3 days' notice. You get the interest that built up until that day.

§ 17275 Warrant Interest Accrual Rules

Any interest paid on any registered warrant shall accrue to the person holding the warrant on the date of redemption, except a registered reimbursement warrant may provide otherwise. A registered warrant ceases to bear interest on the first of the following dates: (a) The maturity date endorsed on its face, if any, if on that date unapplied money or the proceeds of refunding warrants are available for its payment. (b) The date of redemption, so long as the date is at least three days following the first day of published notice pursuant to Section 17273. (c) The date a registered warrant is used by a taxpayer, pursuant to Section 17280.1, or by a beneficial owner of a state bond, pursuant to Section 17280.3, to offset a tax liability of the taxpayer or beneficial owner. (Amended by Stats. 2011, Ch. 306, Sec. 1. (SB 506) Effective January 1, 2012.)
