§ 16952 Bond Security Trust Agreements

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can make special deals to protect money from bonds (like loans) they sell.
  • •These deals can say when and how the state pays back the money.
  • •The deals can also stop people who own the bonds from suing on their own.
  • •The money from these bonds can be kept in special accounts, even outside the state’s main bank.

Example

The state sells bonds to build new schools.

The state makes a deal with a bank to hold the money and make sure they pay back the bond owners on time. If the state misses a payment, the bank can step in to fix it instead of every bond owner suing the state.

§ 16952 Bond Security Trust Agreements

In the discretion of the committee, any bonds issued under this chapter may be secured by a trust agreement, indenture, or resolution between the state and any trustee, which may be the Treasurer or any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company chartered under the laws of any state or the United States and designated by the Treasurer. The trust agreement, indenture, or resolution may contain provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bond owners as may be reasonable and not in violation of law. Any trust agreement, indenture, or resolution may set forth the rights and remedies of the bond owners and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action by bond owners. In addition to the foregoing, any trust agreement, indenture, or resolution may contain other provisions as the committee may deem reasonable for the security of the bond owners, including, but not limited to, provisions specifying the date or dates on which debt service payments on the bonds shall be transferred to the trustee. Any trust accounts created by the trust agreement, indenture, or resolution may be held outside the State Treasury. (Added by Stats. 2004, Ch. 215, Sec. 4. Effective August 11, 2004.)
