Section 99002 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Government Code >> Title 17. >> Chapter 1.
99002
. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) The bonds authorized to be issued by the authority under this
title, and any ancillary obligations entered into with respect to the
bonds, are not a debt or liability of the state subject to Section 1
of Article XVI of the California Constitution. The appropriation, if
any, by the Legislature of special sales tax revenues to the
California Fiscal Recovery Financing Authority created in Section
99004 is not payment on a debt or liability of the state subject to
Section 1 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
(b) Temporary special sales tax revenues deposited in the Fiscal
Recovery Fund created in Section 99008 do not constitute General Fund
revenues for the purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the
California Constitution or any other provision of law.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the moneys deposited
in the Fiscal Recovery Fund shall not be available for any purpose
other than payment of the principal, interest, premium, if any, and
replenishment of reserves of the bonds, payment of ancillary
obligations, or payment of administrative expenses of the California
Fiscal Recovery Financing Authority.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature that the proceeds of the
bonds issued pursuant to this title shall be used solely to eliminate
the accumulated budget deficit identified as of June 30, 2003, or to
refund outstanding bonds issued for that purpose. It is further the
intent of the Legislature that any bonds issued pursuant to this
title, and any ancillary obligations entered into in relation to
those bonds, be repaid in the shortest practicable time consistent
with favorable bond ratings and marketing considerations. Any
legislation that results in an extension of the period during which
the additional special sales taxes provided for in Sections 6051.5
and 6201.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code are imposed beyond the
time necessary to satisfy any obligations incurred to eliminate the
accumulated budget deficit identified as of June 30, 2003 shall be
deemed to be an increase in taxes requiring a two-thirds vote of each
house of the Legislature.
(e) It is the intent of the Legislature that the only
appropriation made by this title is set forth in subdivision (d) of
Section 99008.
