§ 53521 State Infrastructure Bond Authorization

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can borrow up to $2.1 billion by selling bonds to pay for certain projects.
  • •The money from these bonds can also be used to pay back a special fund that covers bond-related costs.
  • •The state promises to pay back the borrowed money with interest, using its full financial power.

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 raise $2.1 billion. People or companies buy these bonds, and the state promises to pay them back later with interest. This money can then be used to build the schools or pay back other costs.
