§ 13873 Bond Issuance Authorization Process

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can ask to borrow money (by selling bonds) to pay for important projects.
  • •A special group (the committee) decides if borrowing money is needed and how much to borrow.
  • •They don’t have to borrow all the money at once—they can do it in small parts over time.

Example

Imagine your town needs a new park, but it’s too expensive to pay for all at once.

The town asks a group of leaders if they can borrow money little by little to build the park. The leaders say yes, and the town borrows some money now and more later as they build different parts of the park.
