§ 11707 Bondholder Protection Requirements

This law says the state can't weaken or get rid of a department or official if it would hurt people who own the state's bonds.

Key Takeaways

  • •The state must keep its promises to people who own its bonds.
  • •The state can't make changes that would make it harder to pay back the bonds.
  • •This rule stays in place as long as there are bonds that haven't been paid back.

Example

Imagine the state sells bonds to build a new school. People buy these bonds to help pay for it.

The state can't close the department in charge of building the school or take away its power if it would make it harder to pay back the people who bought the bonds.
