§ 129130 Bond Default Debenture Issuance

Key Takeaways

  • •If a city or county can't pay back money it borrowed (like for schools or roads), the state will step in and give new papers (debentures) to the people who lent the money.
  • •These new papers will be worth the same amount as the old ones, including any missed payments, and will have the same interest and payment plan.
  • •If a hospital area can't pay back a loan for a building or equipment, the state will take over the property first, then give new papers to the lenders for the missed payments.

Example

A small town borrowed money to build a new park but ran out of money and couldn’t pay back the loan.

The state will give the people who lent the money new papers that promise to pay them back the same amount, including any missed payments, with the same interest and schedule.
