. (a) Subject to subdivision (b), bonds in the total amount of
fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000), not including the amount
of any refunding bonds issued in accordance with Section 99075, or so
much thereof as is necessary, may be issued and sold to provide a
fund to be used for carrying out the purposes expressed in this title
and to reimburse the General Obligation Bond Expense Revolving Fund,
pursuant to Section 16724.5. The bonds, when sold, shall be and
constitute a valid and binding obligation of the State of California,
and the full faith and credit of the State of California is hereby
pledged for the punctual payment of both principal of, and interest
on, the bonds as the principal and interest become due and payable.
Additionally, the bonds, when sold, shall be secured by a pledge of
revenues and any other amounts in the Fiscal Recovery Fund created
pursuant to Section 99008. The bonds may be secured by different lien
priorities on amounts in the Fiscal Recovery Fund.
(b) The amount of bonds that may be issued and sold pursuant to
subdivision (a) shall be reduced by the amount of bonds issued
pursuant to Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000), and by the
amount of bonds issued pursuant to the California Pension Obligation
Financing Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 16910) of Part 3 of
Division 4 of Title 2), except to the extent those bonds will be
retired, defeased, or redeemed with the proceeds of bonds authorized
by this title.
(c) Pursuant to this section, the Treasurer shall sell the bonds
authorized by the committee. The bonds shall be sold upon the terms
and conditions specified in a resolution to be adopted by the
committee pursuant to Section 16731 and Section 99070. Whenever the
committee deems it necessary for an effective sale of the bonds, the
committee may authorize the Treasurer to sell any issue of bonds at
less than their par value. Notwithstanding Section 16754.3, the
discount with respect to any issue of the bonds shall not exceed 3
percent of the par value thereof, net of any premium.
