§ 99070 Bond Issuance Authority Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •A group of people (the committee) decides if they need to borrow money (by selling bonds) to fix budget problems.
  • •They can borrow up to $15 billion total, but they can do it in small parts over time.
  • •The committee can also decide how to use the borrowed money and who will help sell the bonds.
  • •They can use some of the borrowed money to pay back old loans if needed.

Example

Imagine your school needs money to fix broken desks and buy new books. The principal and some teachers (like the committee) decide to borrow money from a bank (by selling bonds) to pay for these things.

They can borrow up to $15 billion in total, but they don’t have to borrow it all at once. They can borrow a little now to fix some desks, and more later to buy new books. They can also use some of the borrowed money to pay back an old loan they took for fixing the school roof.

§ 99070 Bond Issuance Authority Rules

(a) (1) The committee shall determine whether or not it is necessary or desirable to issue bonds authorized pursuant to this title in order to carry out the purposes of this title and, if so, the amount of bonds to be issued and sold, the times at which the proceeds of the bonds authorized by this title shall be required to be available, and those other terms and conditions for the bonds authorized by this title as it shall determine necessary or desirable. (2) In addition to all other powers specifically granted in this title and the State General Obligation Bond Law, the committee may do all things necessary or convenient to carry out the powers and purposes of this title, including the approval of any indenture and any ancillary obligation relating to those bonds, and the delegation of necessary duties to the chairperson, and to the Treasurer as agent for sale of the bonds. (3) The committee shall determine the amount of the bonds to be issued so that the net proceeds of the bonds issued to fund the accumulated budget deficit, when added to the net proceeds of any bonds issued pursuant to Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000) for that purpose, exclusive of bonds issued pursuant to this title for the purpose of refunding bonds issued pursuant to this title or Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000), will not exceed fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) in the aggregate. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the ability of the committee to authorize the issuance of any amount of bonds that it shall determine necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this title, including the refunding or redemption of the bonds issued pursuant to Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000), subject to the limit on the total amount of bonds set forth in Section 99065. (b) Successive issues of bonds may be authorized and sold to carry out those actions progressively, and it is not necessary that all of the bonds authorized to be issued be sold at any one time. In addition to all other powers specifically granted in this title and the State General Obligation Bond Law, the committee may do all things necessary or convenient, including the delegation of necessary duties to the chairperson and to the Treasurer as agent for sale of the bonds, to carry out the powers and purposes of this title. (Added by Stats. 2003, 5th Ex. Sess., Ch. 2, Sec. 3. Approved in Proposition 57 at the March 2, 2004, election.)
