§ 3922 Bond Payment Cancellation Procedures

This law explains how the state marks bonds and coupons as paid or canceled using holes or removals, and how new bonds can replace canceled ones.

Key Takeaways

  • •Payments are recorded by punching a hole in the bond or coupon.
  • •Unsold bonds are canceled with a hole and a date stamp.
  • •Coupons that have reached their due date are detached and marked as canceled.
  • •Canceled bonds can be replaced with new bonds that are sold the same way.

Example

A city sells bonds to raise money for a new library. When a buyer pays for a bond, the state punches a hole in it to show the payment was made. If the bonds aren't sold by the deadline, the state punches holes to cancel them and removes the attached interest coupons that are now due.

The state uses a special punch to record payments and to cancel unsold bonds or overdue coupons, and it can later issue new bonds in place of the canceled ones.

§ 3922 Bond Payment Cancellation Procedures

Upon the payment of any such bond or coupon, the State Treasurer, or such state fiscal agent, or agents, shall perforate the same with a suitable device in a manner to indicate such payment and a record of such payment shall be made thereof. The State Treasurer, or such state fiscal agent, or agents, shall also on the respective dates of maturity of any such bonds which have been executed but which remain unsold, cancel the same by perforation with a suitable device in a manner to indicate such cancellation and the date thereof, and on the respective due dates of all coupons attached to any such bond remaining unsold, shall detach all such coupons the due date of which has been reached, and cancel them in the same manner as provided for the cancellation of bonds remaining unsold. After proceedings set forth in Section 3907 new bonds conforming to the directions of the committee may be prepared and executed in lieu of any bonds so canceled, and may be sold and issued in the same manner as provided for other bonds in this part.
