§ 11755 Bond Anticipation Bonds
This law lets the government borrow money using short-term loans while waiting to sell long-term bonds. It sets rules on how much can be borrowed and how it must be paid back.
Imagine a city needs $100 million to build a new school but hasn't sold all its long-term bonds yet.
The city can borrow up to $100 million with short-term loans (bond anticipation bonds) to start the project. These loans must be paid back within 5 years, using money from the long-term bonds once they're sold.
Maximum bond anticipation bonds = (Total authorized bonds) - (Bonds already sold) - (Other outstanding bond anticipation bonds)
A city is authorized to sell $100 million in long-term bonds. It has sold $30 million so far and has $10 million in other short-term loans.
Result: $60 million (This is the maximum the city can borrow with new short-term loans.)
