§ 101430 Bond Refunding Authorization

This law lets the state replace (refund) bonds it has sold with new bonds, and the voters who approved the original bonds also approved any replacement bonds.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bonds can be refunded using new bonds under the State General Obligation Bond Law.
  • •Voter approval for the original bonds also covers any bonds used to refund them.
  • •Refunded bonds can be legally retired (defeased) as allowed by the governing resolution.

Example

The state sells bonds to build a new highway. A few years later, interest rates drop, so the state issues new bonds at the lower rate to pay off the old highway bonds.

Because voters already said yes to the original highway bonds, they also automatically said yes to the new bonds that pay off the old ones, and the old bonds can be officially retired.
