§ 1702 Infrastructure Fund Subaccounts

This law lets a government agency set up separate pockets (subaccounts) inside an infrastructure fund and decide how the money in each pocket can be invested, especially when the money is promised to pay for bonds.

Key Takeaways

  • •The agency can create one or more separate subaccounts inside the infrastructure fund.
  • •Money can be invested in any option allowed by the state code, unless the subaccount is pledged for bonds, in which case the bond agreement may limit the investments.
  • •Investment earnings normally stay in the same fund or subaccount, unless a higher law or agreement says they must go somewhere else.

Example

A city creates an infrastructure fund and opens a subaccount to pay off a new bridge bond. The city can invest the bridge money in whatever investments the state allows, but if the bond paperwork says the money must stay in safe investments, the city must follow that rule.

The city treats the bridge subaccount as its own thing, invests the money according to the bond rules, and any earnings from those investments go back into the bridge subaccount unless another law says otherwise.

§ 1702 Infrastructure Fund Subaccounts

An authority may establish one or more subaccounts within the infrastructure fund, and may treat each subaccount as separate and distinct. Money in the infrastructure fund may be invested in any instrument permitted by Section 53601 of the Government Code. However, any money in any subaccount which is separately pledged to secure or pay bonds may be invested in, or may be limited to investments in, any instrument permitted by the resolution or indenture providing for the issuance of the bonds. Any investment income earned on the investment of money in an infrastructure fund shall be credited to the infrastructure fund unless, and to the extent that, federal or state law or agreement, pursuant to which moneys were deposited into the fund, requires otherwise. Any income earned on the investment of money in any subaccount shall be credited to the subaccount unless, and to the extent that, the authority establishing the fund determines otherwise. (Added by Stats. 1992, Ch. 1235, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 1993.)
