The proceeds of the bonds issued and sold pursuant to this chapter shall be available for the purpose of providing an efficient, equitable, and economical means of doing both of the following:

(a) Funding the accumulated state budget deficit, which may be accomplished in part by refunding or repaying bonds issued pursuant to Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000).

Terms Used In California Government Code 99064

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • State: means the State of California, unless applied to the different parts of the United States. See California Government Code 18

(b) Paying costs relating to the issuance of bonds under this title, including, but not limited to, providing reserves, capitalized interest, and the costs of obtaining or entering into any ancillary obligation, costs associated with the repayment or refunding of the fiscal recovery bonds issued pursuant to Title 17 (commencing with Section 99000), and administrative and other costs associated with implementing the purposes of this title.
