§ 15200 Bond Sale Cancellation Process

This law says that if certain bonds aren't put up for sale within a year, or stay unsold for six months after being offered, the local board can ask the supervising board to cancel those bonds.

Key Takeaways

  • •Bonds must be offered for sale within one year of the election that approved them.
  • •If they stay unsold for six months after being offered, they can be canceled.
  • •The local governing board can request the supervising board to cancel the unsold bonds.

Example

A county builds a new park and issues bonds to raise money, but after a year no one buys the bonds.

Because the bonds weren't sold in time, the county board can ask the state board that handles bond sales to cancel the unsold bonds, stopping the project from moving forward with that money.
