§ 29219 Refunding Bond Issuance Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Refunding bonds can be issued to pay off old debts, including the main amount and the interest.
  • •The money from these new bonds can also cover extra costs like fees for calling back old bonds and issuing new ones.
  • •If needed, the new bonds can include money to pay interest until the old debts are fully paid off.
  • •Sometimes, you might need to pay extra to call back old bonds early, and the new bonds can cover that too.

Example

Imagine a city took out a loan to build a park and now wants to pay it off early with a new loan.

The city can issue new bonds (like a new loan) to cover the old loan amount, the interest, and any extra fees. This way, they can manage their debt better and maybe save money in the long run.
