§ 53553 Bond Fund Withdrawal Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can take money from the General Fund if they haven't sold enough bonds yet.
  • •They can only take as much money as the unsold bonds are worth.
  • •The money taken must be paid back with interest when the bonds are sold.
  • •This is only for special projects approved by voters.

Example

Imagine the state wants to build new parks but doesn't have enough money from selling bonds yet.

The state can borrow money from its main bank account (General Fund) to start building the parks. Later, when they sell the bonds, they have to pay back the borrowed money plus a little extra (interest).

§ 53553 Bond Fund Withdrawal Authority

For the purpose of carrying out this part, the Director of Finance may, by executive order, authorize the withdrawal from the General Fund of any amount or amounts not to exceed the amount of the unsold bonds which the committee has, by resolution, authorized to be sold for the purpose of carrying out this part. Any amounts withdrawn shall be deposited in the fund. Any money made available under this section shall be returned to the General Fund, plus the interest that the amounts would have earned in the Pooled Money Investment Account, from money received from the sale of bonds which would otherwise be deposited in that fund. (Added by Stats. 2006, Ch. 27, Sec. 2. Approved in Proposition 1C at the November 7, 2006, election.)
