§ 14036 Bond Fund Withdrawal Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can take money from the General Fund if they haven't sold enough bonds yet.
  • •This money is like a loan and must be paid back with interest.
  • •The money is used for special projects approved by the state.
  • •Once the bonds are sold, the money from the sale pays back the loan plus interest.

Example

Imagine the state wants to build new schools but doesn't have enough money from selling bonds yet.

The state can borrow money from its main bank account (General Fund) to start building the schools. Later, when they sell the bonds, they pay back the borrowed money with a little extra (interest).

Any amounts withdrawn shall be deposited in the fund to be allocated by the board in accordance with this chapter. Any money made available under this section shall be returned by the board to the General Fund, plus the interest that the amounts would have earned in the Pooled Money Investment Account from money received from the sale of bonds for the purpose of carrying out this chapter.
