53515
. (a) General obligation bonds issued and sold by or on behalf
of a local agency shall be secured by a statutory lien on all
revenues received pursuant to the levy and collection of the tax. The
lien shall automatically arise without the need for any action or
authorization by the local agency or its governing body. The lien
shall be valid and binding from the time the bonds are executed and
delivered. The revenues received pursuant to the levy and collection
of the tax shall be immediately subject to the lien, and the lien
shall immediately attach to the revenues and be effective, binding,
and enforceable against the local agency, its successors,
transferees, and creditors, and all others asserting rights therein,
irrespective of whether those parties have notice of the lien and
without the need for any physical delivery, recordation, filing, or
further act.
(b) This section is not intended to supplement or limit a local
agency's power to issue general obligation bonds conferred by any
other law.
(c) For purposes of this section, both of the following shall
apply:
(1) "Local agency" means any city, county, city and county, school
district, community college district, authority, or special
district.
(2) "General obligation bonds" means bonds, warrants, notes, or
other evidence of indebtedness of a local agency payable, both
principal and interest, from the proceeds of ad valorem taxes that
may be levied pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (b)
of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution.
