§ 105210 Refunding District Bonds

This law lets the board issue new "refunding" bonds to pay off old district bonds, covering the old principal, interest, any call premiums, and the costs of doing the swap.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can decide the terms, timing, and method for issuing refunding bonds.
  • •No public election is required to approve the refunding bond issue.
  • •When old bonds are swapped for new ones, the board alone decides how the exchange works.

Example

A school district has $10 million of old bonds that are about to be called. The board decides to sell $10 million of new refunding bonds, uses the money to retire the old bonds, and pays the fees for the swap.

The board can create and sell the new bonds whenever it wants, decide how the exchange works, and it does not have to hold a public election to do it.

§ 105210 Refunding District Bonds

The board may provide for the issuance, sale, or exchange of refunding bonds to redeem or retire any bonds issued by the district upon the terms, at the times, and in the manner which it determines. Refunding bonds may be issued in a principal amount sufficient to pay all or any part of the principal of the outstanding bonds, the interest thereon, and the premiums, if any, due upon call and redemption thereof prior to maturity and all expenses of the refunding. The provisions of this article for issuance and sale of bonds apply to the issuance and sale of the refunding bonds, except that (a) no election need be called or held for the purpose of authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds, and (b) when refunding bonds are to be exchanged for outstanding bonds, the method of exchange shall be determined by the board.
