§ 29220 Bond Redemption Notice Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If there's enough money to pay back old debts (like bonds or notes), the money boss has to tell everyone by putting an ad in the newspaper.
  • •The ad must run once a week for two weeks in a local newspaper where the debt was issued.
  • •If the person who owns the debt doesn’t cash it in by the deadline, they stop getting interest (extra money) on it.
  • •The ad must include details like the debt’s number so people know which one is being paid back.

Example

Imagine the city owes money on old bonds, like an IOU, and now has enough cash to pay them back.

The city’s money boss must put an ad in the local newspaper for two weeks saying, 'We’re ready to pay back Bond #123—bring it in by this date!' If the bond owner doesn’t show up by the deadline, they stop earning extra money (interest) on it.

§ 29220 Bond Redemption Notice Requirements

When sufficient money is in the Funding Fund to redeem one or more outstanding past due bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness, or to redeem one or more of the outstanding bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness, that are subject to call or payment before maturity, and that are proposed to be funded or refunded, the chief financial officer shall publish a notice that the chief financial officer is prepared to pay the bond, note, or other evidence of indebtedness and give its number, if any, in that notice. The notice shall be published once a week for two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the district, if there is one. Copies of that advertisement may be published in any newspaper or financial publication in the United States. If the bond, note, or other evidence of indebtedness to be called for redemption or refunded is not presented for redemption on or before the date specified for redemption, as set forth on the face of the outstanding bond, note, or other evidence of indebtedness, interest upon it shall cease. (Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 106, Sec. 8. (AB 2325) Effective January 1, 2025.)
