§ 53200 State Infrastructure Bond Authorization

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can borrow up to $150 million by selling bonds.
  • •This money is used for specific projects and to pay back a special fund.
  • •The state promises to pay back the money with interest, using its full trust and credit.

Example

Imagine the state needs money to build new schools but doesn't have enough cash right now.

The state can sell bonds (like IOUs) to get the money now. People or companies buy these bonds, and the state promises to pay them back later with a little extra (interest). This way, the schools can be built sooner.
