§ 66961 Bond Payment Appropriation

Key Takeaways

  • •The state sets aside money to pay back bonds (like loans) it took out for certain projects.
  • •This money covers both the original loan amount and the extra cost (interest) over time.
  • •The money is always available, no matter the year, to make sure payments are made on time.

Example

Imagine the state borrows money to build a new school, like taking out a loan for a house.

The state must set aside money every year to pay back that loan plus extra fees (interest). This law makes sure the money is always there, so the state doesn’t miss payments.
