Section 16312 Of Chapter 1. General From California Government Code >> Division 4. >> Title 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1.
16312
. (a) Notwithstanding and in addition to any other provision
of law permitting withdrawal of moneys from the General Fund for
deposit into a special fund for the purpose of carrying out a program
or project with repayment to the General Fund to come from the
proceeds of the later sale of state bonds or notes, the Pooled Money
Investment Board may instead make a loan from the Pooled Money
Investment Account directly to any such special fund, on such terms
and conditions as the board may determine, upon request made to the
board by an appropriate official. Any official authorized by law to
seek, authorize, or approve a withdrawal of moneys from the General
Fund for these purposes may in the alternative request a loan from
the board as provided in this section and execute such documents as
are required by the board to obtain and repay the loan. Interest on
the loan shall be determined as provided in Section 16314.
(b) The Pooled Money Investment Board may also make a loan from
the Pooled Money Investment Account to any special fund for the
purpose of carrying out a program or project that is authorized to be
financed by issuing bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness,
where the special fund does not qualify under subdivision (a). Any
loan shall be subject to those terms and conditions as the board
shall determine and interest shall be determined as provided in
Section 16314.
Any state agency or other entity of state government that has
authority to issue bonds may request a loan from the Pooled Money
Investment Account and execute such documents as are required by the
board to obtain and repay the loan.
(c) When a loan is made pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) to a
special fund to carry out a state general obligation bond program,
other than a program adopted pursuant to an initiative statute prior
to August 22, 1988, or Chapter 27, 30, 48, or 49 of the Statutes of
1988, the special fund shall pay the loan interest out of the
proceeds derived from bond sales. For non-self-liquidating programs
adopted pursuant to an initiative statute prior to August 22, 1988,
or Chapter 27, 30, 48, or 49 of the Statutes of 1988, the General
Fund shall pay the loan interest.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 13340, amounts required to pay
interest on loans made to non-self-liquidating general obligation
bond programs are hereby continuously appropriated from the General
Fund.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that these
appropriations for interest payments regarding general obligation
bond programs are appropriations for debt service as defined in
Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution and
therefore are exempt from the appropriations limit set by that
article.
