§ 100625 Bond Authorization For State Projects

This law lets California sell up to $11.4 billion in bonds (but not the refunding bonds) to pay for school building projects and to pay back a special fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •California can sell up to $11.4 billion in bonds for school building needs.
  • •Any refunding bonds are taken out of that $11.4 billion limit.
  • •The bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the state, meaning the state promises to pay them back with interest.

Example

The state needs $2 billion to fix old school buildings.

Under this law the Treasurer can sell $2 billion of the authorized bonds, and the state promises to pay back the $2 billion plus interest later.

How to Calculate

Authorized Bond Amount = $11,400,000,000 – Amount of refunding bonds issued

  1. Start with the total limit of $11.4 billion.
  2. Find out how much has already been issued as refunding bonds.
  3. Subtract the refunding‑bond amount from $11.4 billion.
  4. The result is the amount of new bonds that can be sold.

The state has already issued $1.5 billion in refunding bonds.

Result: Authorized Bond Amount = $11,400,000,000 – $1,500,000,000 = $9,900,000,000
