Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the governor to allocate $250,000,000 of the funds accepted
under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to retire public debt in the
2021-22 fiscal year.
The bill also requires the governor to allocate $250,000,000 of the funds
accepted under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the retirement of
transportation revenue bonds. Current law authorizes the Building Commission to
issue revenue bonds for major highway projects and transportation administrative
facilities in a principal amount that may not exceed $4,197,627,500.
Finally, if the retirement of public debt and transportation revenue is not
eligible for funding under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, then the bill
requires the governor to allocate the amounts specified in the bill for the financing
of building projects in the 2021-23 Authorized State Building Program in lieu of
borrowing.
