§ 3926 Bond Redemption Authority

This law lets a committee decide to pay off (redeem) bonds before they’re due, as long as there’s enough money, and then tell the State Treasurer to do it.

Key Takeaways

  • •The committee can choose to redeem bonds early if money is available.
  • •A written resolution must tell the State Treasurer the redemption date.
  • •The Treasurer must give notice and follow the resolution’s rules for paying the bondholders.

Example

A town issued bonds to build a new library. A few years later the town has extra cash, so the committee decides to pay off those bonds early.

The committee votes that the town can afford to redeem the bonds early, writes a resolution telling the State Treasurer when to do it, and the Treasurer sends out a notice and pays the bondholders as the resolution says.
