§ 101444 Higher Education Bond Authorization

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

Key Takeaways

  • •The committee can only issue bonds for projects the yearly budget approves.
  • •It must decide by resolution whether bonds are needed and how much.
  • •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 library, but it doesn't have enough cash right now.

The committee looks at the budget, decides it needs money, and then issues just enough bonds to cover the library cost. It can sell those bonds in pieces over time instead of all at once.

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.
