Assembly BillNo. 2830


Introduced by Assembly Member Salas

February 19, 2016


An act to amend Section 5850 of the Government Code, relating to bonds.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2830, as introduced, Salas. Public bodies: bonds.

Existing law requires the interest on bonds of a public body to be payable at the times established in the resolution, indenture, agreement, or other instrument providing for the issuance of bonds, and authorizes the governing body of a public body to authorize the issuance of bonds pursuant to a resolution, indenture, agreement, or other instrument providing for the issuance of bonds. Existing law defines the terms “bonds,” “public body,” and “governing body” for purposes of these provisions.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those definitions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
