Chapter 1. General of California Government Code >> Division 4. >> Title 2. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 1.

As used in this part, "fiscal agent" means any state fiscal agent selected and acting pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16670).

Whenever the statute of limitations has run against any outstanding bond or coupon issued by the State, the Treasurer may, at such time as he may determine, withdraw from the fiscal agents any money transferred to the fiscal agents to meet the payment of the bond or coupon and deposit it in the Treasury to the credit of the General Fund.

Whenever it appears to the Treasurer, upon competent proof, that any bonds, coupons, or other evidences of state indebtedness, except warrants, have been lost or destroyed, he shall endeavor to stop payment on them, and notify the State's fiscal agents to endeavor to stop payment thereon.

The expense incurred by the State Treasurer and his agents in the payment of bonds and bond coupons upon maturity or when called for prior redemption is a part of the cost of redemption of such bonds and bond coupons and shall be charged against the fund which is chargeable with the costs of administration of the proceeds of such bonds, if other than the General Fund.

The Controller shall establish and maintain accounts and perform accounting transactions as determined by the Treasurer to be necessary to comply with all provisions of federal law and regulations pertaining to retaining the bondholders' exemption from federal income taxation on interest paid on state bonds. State agencies administering state bond programs shall provide the Treasurer with all program and fiscal information as determined by the Treasurer to be necessary to comply with these federal provisions.
