§ 102583 Bond Anticipation Notes Authority

This law lets a district borrow money with short‑term notes before its bonds are sold, but the notes can only last up to five years and must be paid back with the bond sale money or taxes.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can issue short‑term notes before bonds are sold.
  • •Each note (and any renewals) can’t be longer than five years.
  • •The total amount of notes can’t be more than the bonds the district is allowed to issue, minus bonds already sold and other notes still out.
  • •Notes are paid back from bond sale proceeds or, if needed, from taxes just like regular bonds.
  • •Notes are sold the same way as the bonds and can have the same rules and limits.

Example

A school district wants to start building a new classroom, but the bonds that will fund it haven’t been sold yet.

The district can issue a bond anticipation note to get cash now, promising to pay it back when the bonds are finally sold; if the bonds don’t cover it, the district can raise taxes to pay the note.

§ 102583 Bond Anticipation Notes Authority

The district may borrow money in anticipation of the sale of bonds which have been authorized to be issued pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 102500) of this chapter, but which have not been sold and delivered, and may issue negotiable bond anticipation notes therefor and may renew the same from time to time, but the maximum maturity of any such notes, including the renewals thereof, shall not exceed five years from the date of delivery of such original notes. Such notes may be paid from any moneys of the district available therefor and not otherwise pledged. If not previously otherwise paid, the notes shall be paid from the proceeds of the next sale of the bonds of the district in anticipation of which they were issued and if not so paid, taxes may be levied for their payment in the same manner as taxes are levied for the payment of general obligation bonds pursuant to Section 102336 until such bonds are issued. Such notes shall not be issued in any amount in excess of the aggregate amount of bonds which the district has been authorized to issue, less the amount of any bonds of such authorized issue previously sold, and also less the amount of other bond anticipation notes therefor issued and then outstanding. The notes shall be issued and sold in the same manner as the bonds. Such notes and the resolution or resolutions authorizing the same may contain any provisions, conditions, or limitations which a resolution of the district authorizing the issuance of bonds may contain. (Added by Stats. 1971, Ch. 1374.)
