29924.5
. (a) Prior to the issuance by a county of bonds pursuant to
this chapter, the board may elect, by resolution, to guarantee
payment on outstanding bonds of the county issued pursuant to this
chapter in accordance with the following:
(1) A county that elects to participate under this section shall
provide notice to the Controller of that election, which notice shall
include a schedule for the repayment of principal and interest on
the bonds, and identify a bond trustee appointed by the county for
the purposes of this section.
(2) In the event that, for any reason, the amount of property tax
revenues made available pursuant to this article for the payment of
principal and interest of the bonds will not be sufficient for that
purpose at the time payment on principal, interest, or both, is
required as to any one or more of those bonds, the county shall so
notify the bond trustee. The bond trustee shall immediately
communicate that information to the affected bondholder or
bondholders and to the Controller.
(3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as
described in paragraph (2), or the amount of property tax revenues
made available pursuant to this article for the payment of principal
and interest of the bonds is not sufficient for that purpose at the
time payment on principal, interest, or both, is required as to any
one or more of those bonds, the Controller shall make an
apportionment to the bond trustee in the amount of that required
payment for the purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall
make that payment only from moneys credited to the Motor Vehicle
License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to which that
county is entitled at that time under Chapter 5 (commencing with
Section 11001) of Part 5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code, and shall thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the
subsequent allocation or allocations to which the county would
otherwise be entitled under that chapter.
(4) A county shall be entitled to reimbursement, from tax revenues
collected pursuant to this article, in an amount equal to the amount
by which its allocation or allocations under Chapter 5 (commencing
with Section 11001) of Part 5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code are reduced pursuant to subdivision (c).
(b) This section shall not be construed to obligate the State of
California to make any payment to a county from the Motor Vehicle
License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund in any amount or
pursuant to any particular allocation formula, or to make any other
payment to a county, including, but not limited to, any payment in
satisfaction of any debt or liability incurred or guaranteed by a
county in accordance with this section.
