§ 13244 Bond Signing Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •The bonds must be signed by the president of the board or another officer chosen by the board.
  • •The treasurer must also sign the bonds, and the secretary must countersign them.
  • •The coupons attached to the bonds must be numbered in order and signed by the treasurer.
  • •If an officer who signed the bonds leaves their job before the bonds are given to the buyer, their signature is still valid.

Example

Imagine a school district is selling bonds to raise money for new school buildings.

The school board president and the treasurer must sign the bonds. Even if the treasurer quits before the bonds are sold, their signature is still good, and the bonds are still valid.

§ 13244 Bond Signing Requirements

The bonds shall be signed by the president of the board or by such officer of the district as the board shall by resolution authorize and designate for that purpose. They shall also be signed by the treasurer, and be countersigned by the secretary. The coupons of the bonds shall be numbered consecutively and be signed by the treasurer. All signatures and countersignatures, except that of the treasurer on the bonds, may be printed, lithographed, or engraved. If any officer whose signature or countersignature appears on the bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before the delivery of the bonds to the purchaser, the signature or countersignature is nevertheless valid and sufficient for all purposes as if he had remained in office until the delivery of the bonds. (Enacted by Stats. 1951, Ch. 764.)
