§ 17191 State Bondholder Protection Pledge

Key Takeaways

  • •California promises not to change or take away the authority's power to pay for school buildings with bonds.
  • •The state must keep its word on any deals made with bond holders or contractors until all the money is paid back.
  • •The authority can include these promises in its bond and contract papers.

Example

A school district takes out a loan to build a new school.

The state promises it won’t change the rules or take away money until the loan is fully paid back. This keeps the deal safe for the people who lent the money.
