§ 103512 Bond Investment Authorization

This law says that bonds made under this rule are allowed as safe investments for things like trust funds, insurance company money, banks, and state school funds, and they can also be used as guarantees for public money.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bonds issued under this article can be used as investments for trust funds, insurance companies, banks, and state school funds.
  • •Any money that the law already lets you put into city or county bonds can also be put into these bonds.
  • •These bonds can be used as security (a guarantee) for public projects or money.
  • •The rule adds to other investment laws and is the newest rule the Legislature has set.

Example

A state school fund wants to put some of its money into a safe investment.

Because of this law, the school fund can buy the bonds issued under this article just like it could buy regular city or county bonds, and those bonds count as a legal investment.
