§ 1106 State Bond Issuance Authority

This law lets California sell up to $50 million in bonds (not counting special refunding bonds) to raise money for the projects listed in this chapter and to pay back a specific state fund, and the state promises to pay back the bonds on time.

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can issue bonds worth up to $50 million (excluding refunding bonds).
  • •Money from the bonds must be used for the purposes described in this chapter and to reimburse a specific state fund.
  • •The bonds are a guaranteed promise of the state, meaning the state will pay back both the principal and interest when due.

Example

California needs money to build new flood‑control levees. The state issues $30 million of bonds to investors, gets the cash, builds the levees, and later repays the investors with interest.

The bonds are sold to get cash for the levee project, and because the law says the state’s full faith and credit backs them, investors know they will be paid back.
