§ 105220 District Revenue Bond Authority

This law lets a school district sell bonds that are paid back with money it makes from any building or service it runs, and it can count sales‑tax money as part of that revenue.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can issue revenue bonds for any facility or business it owns or builds.
  • •It follows the general Revenue Bond Law, but skips some specific restrictions listed in that law.
  • •Sales‑tax receipts count as revenue for paying back the bonds, unless the bond resolution blocks the tax.

Example

A district builds a new community center and wants to pay for it over time.

The district can sell bonds to raise the money now, and then use the fees it collects from the center and the local sales tax to pay back the bond holders, as long as the bond plan doesn’t say the sales tax has to stop until the bonds are fully paid.

The district may issue bonds, payable from revenue of any facility or enterprise to be acquired or constructed by the district, in the manner provided by the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 (Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 54300) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), all of the provisions of which are applicable to the district, except that Article 3 (commencing with Section 54380) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code and the limitations set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 54402 and in Sections 54403 and 54418 of the Government Code do not apply to the issuance and sale of bonds pursuant to this article. As used in Section 54315 of the Government Code, “revenues” shall include, but not be limited to, the proceeds of, or any portion of the proceeds of, a sales and use tax imposed under Article 5 (commencing with Section 105115) of Chapter 4 or under any other provisions of law, so long as the resolution authorizing the bonds contains no restriction that would provide that this tax shall not continue to be imposed until the bonds are fully paid or a provision has been made for their payment in full. (Added by Stats. 2002, Ch. 341, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 2003.)
