§ 33644 Agency Bond Liability Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •If a government agency borrows money, the community or state doesn't have to pay it back.
  • •The agency must pay its own debts using its own money, not taxpayer money.
  • •The debt doesn't count against rules that limit how much the government can borrow.

Example

A city agency takes a loan to build a new park but runs out of money.

The city or state can't be forced to pay the loan. Only the agency must pay it back using its own funds.

§ 33644 Agency Bond Liability Limits

The bonds and other obligations of any agency are not a debt of the community, the State, or any of its political subdivisions and neither the community, the State, nor any of its political subdivisions is liable on them, nor in any event shall the bonds or obligations be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the agency; and such bonds and other obligations shall so state on their face. The bonds do not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. (Added by Stats. 1963, Ch. 1812.)
