. (a) Moneys credited to the Motor Vehicle License Fee
Account in the Transportation Tax Fund or allocated to the Vehicle
License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund of the County of Orange
pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 97.70 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code to which Orange County may at any time be
entitled shall be pledged, without any necessity for specific
authorization of the pledge by the board of supervisors, to all
certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds executed and
delivered or issued, as the case may be, during 1996 or 1997,
including obligations executed and delivered or issued before 2010 to
refund those certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds,
to finance or refinance the lease or lease-purchase of property of
the county and having a stated maturity of 20 years or more. Any
refunding obligations shall not have a final maturity later than the
final maturity of the refunded obligations. The amount so pledged
with respect to any fiscal year of the county shall not exceed the
amounts to be paid in that fiscal year on those certificates or
lease-revenue bonds.
(b) The state hereby covenants with the holders of any
certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds, including
refunding obligations, entitled to the pledge granted by this section
that, as long as any of the certificates of participation or
lease-revenue bonds entitled to the pledge granted by this section
shall remain outstanding, the state shall not alter or amend the
deposit of moneys into, or the allocation of moneys credited to, the
Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund
under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11001) of Part 5 of Division
2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or the allocation of moneys to
and from the Vehicle License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund of
the County of Orange under Section 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code in any manner that would adversely affect the security of, or
the ability of the county to pay the principal of and interest on,
the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds entitled to
the pledge granted by this section. However, nothing precludes any
alteration or amendment if and when adequate provision has been made
by law for the protection from impairment of the contract represented
by the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds, and the
right to so alter or amend is hereby reserved. The County of Orange
may include this covenant of the state in the agreements or other
documents underlying the certificates of participation or
lease-revenue bonds.
