§ 29241 District Revenue Bond Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets a special district (like a local government group) build and improve things like rapid transit (trains, buses, etc.).
  • •The district can borrow money by selling special 'revenue bonds' to pay for these projects.
  • •They can sell bonds for one big project or many small ones at the same time.
  • •The district can choose how to pay back the bonds, either with money from the project or with special fees.

Example

A city wants to build a new subway line but doesn’t have enough money right now.

The city can sell bonds (like IOUs) to investors to get the money to build the subway. Later, they pay back the investors using the money made from subway tickets or special fees.

The district is hereby declared to be a local agency within the meaning of the Revenue Bond Law of 1941. The term “enterprise” as used in the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 shall for all purposes of this part include rapid transit facilities and any and all parts thereof and all additions, extensions and improvements thereto and all other facilities authorized to be acquired, constructed or completed by the district under this part. The district may issue revenue bonds under such law for any one or more facilities or enterprises authorized to be acquired, constructed or completed by the district, or in the alternative, may issue revenue bonds under such law for the acquisition, construction and completion of any one of such facilities and also issue bonds payable from assessments in accordance with the procedure provided by this part for any other of such facilities. Nothing in this part contained shall prevent the district from availing itself of, or making use of, any procedure provided hereunder for the issuance of bonds of any type or character for any of the facilities or works authorized hereunder, and all such proceedings may be carried on simultaneously or, in the alternative, as the directors may determine.
