§ 3919 Harbor Bond Sinking Fund Investment

This law says the State Treasurer must invest money from the Harbor Bond Sinking Fund in certain bonds, like U.S. or California bonds, and keep track of them properly. They must also keep enough money ready to pay back the state's own bonds when they're due.

Key Takeaways

  • •The State Treasurer must invest money from the Harbor Bond Sinking Fund in specific bonds.
  • •They have to keep enough money ready to pay back the state's own bonds when they're due.
  • •Any extra money made from these investments goes back into the same piggy bank unless there's a special rule for certain bonds.

Example

Imagine the state has a piggy bank called the Harbor Bond Sinking Fund. The state gets money from this piggy bank to buy special papers (bonds) that promise to pay back money later.

The state can only buy certain types of these papers, like ones from the U.S. government or California. They also have to keep some money in the piggy bank to pay back their own papers when it's time.
