Section 132311 Of Article 5. Transactions And Use Tax From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 12.7. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 5.
132311
. Limited tax bonds shall be issued pursuant to a resolution
adopted at any time, and from time to time, by the commission by a
two-thirds vote of all members of the commission.
The commission may from time to time issue bonds in accordance
with the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 (Chapter 6 (commencing with Section
54300) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code),
for the purposes set forth in the ordinance adopted pursuant to
Section 132302, which shall constitute an "enterprise" within the
meaning of Section 54309 of the Government Code. Article 3
(commencing with Section 54380) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 2
of Title 5 of the Government Code and the limitations on the rate of
interest set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 54402 of the
Government Code do not apply to the issuance and sale of bonds
pursuant to this chapter. Instead, the commission shall authorize the
issuance of bonds by resolution, which resolution shall specify all
of the following:
(a) The purposes for which the bonds are to be issued.
(b) The maximum principal amount of the bonds.
(c) The maximum term for the bonds.
(d) The maximum rate of interest to be payable upon the bonds
shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the
commission by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other
applicable provisions of law. In the case of bonds bearing a variable
interest rate, the variable rate shall on no day exceed the maximum
rate permitted for bonds of the commission on that day by Section
53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of
law. However, the variable interest rate so permitted may on any day
exceed that maximum rate if the interest paid on the bonds from their
date of original issuance to that day does not exceed the total
interest which would have been permitted to have been paid on the
bonds if the bonds had borne interest at all times from the date of
issuance to that day at the maximum rate permitted from time to time
by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable
provisions of law.
(e) The maximum discount on the sale of the bonds. However, the
bonds shall not be sold at less than 95 percent of the principal
amount in the manner determined by the commission. Each resolution
shall provide for the issuance of bonds in the amounts as may be
necessary, until the full amount of the bonds authorized has been
issued. The full amount of bonds may be divided into two or more
series with different dates of payment fixed for the bonds of each
series. A bond need not mature on its anniversary date.
