§ 100720 Bond Issuance Authorization Limits

This law lets a special committee sell bonds only to pay for projects that the state budget says are allowed, and the committee decides if bonds are needed and how many to sell, possibly in several batches.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bonds can only be used for projects the Legislature has approved in the annual Budget Act.
  • •The Higher Education Facilities Finance Committee decides if bonds are needed and how much to issue.
  • •Bonds can be issued and sold in several rounds; they don’t all have to be sold at once.

Example

A state university wants to build a new library and the yearly Budget Act says money can be used for that library.

The committee checks the budget, decides that bonds are needed, and authorizes, say, $30 million in bonds to help pay for the library. They can sell those bonds now or in pieces over time.
