§ 6577 Bond Refunding Costs Coverage

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets the government issue new bonds to pay off old ones.
  • •The new bonds can cover the cost of the old bonds plus extra fees.
  • •Extra fees include things like interest and costs to make the new bonds.
  • •If the old bonds have a penalty for paying early, the new bonds can cover that too.

Example

Imagine you have an old loan for your house with high interest, and you want to take a new loan to pay it off.

This law works like that but for the government. They can take a new loan (new bonds) to pay off the old one (old bonds). The new loan can also cover extra costs, like fees for paying the old loan early or the interest that builds up until the old loan is paid off.
