§ 100520 Higher Education Bond Authorization

This law lets a special committee decide if and how many bonds to sell to pay for college building projects that the state budget says are allowed.

Key Takeaways

  • •The committee can only issue bonds that the yearly budget says are allowed.
  • •It decides if bonds are needed and how much to issue.
  • •Bonds can be sold in several rounds; they don’t all have to be sold at once.

Example

A state university wants to build a new science lab and the yearly state budget says money can be used for it.

The committee checks the budget, decides that bonds are needed, chooses an amount (say $50 million), and then issues those bonds to raise the cash for the lab. The bonds can be sold in pieces over time, not all at once.

§ 100520 Higher Education Bond Authorization

The Higher Education Facilities Finance Committee established pursuant to Section 67353 shall authorize the issuance of bonds under this chapter only to the extent necessary to fund the apportionments for the purposes described in this chapter that are expressly authorized by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Pursuant to that legislative direction, the committee shall determine whether or not it is necessary or desirable to issue bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter in order to carry out the purposes described in this chapter and, if so, the amount of bonds to be issued and sold. Successive issues of bonds may be authorized and sold to carry out those actions progressively, and it is not necessary that all of the bonds authorized to be issued be sold at any one time. (Added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 407, Sec. 16. Approved in Proposition 1A at the November 3, 1998, election.)
