Statute text

(a)Moneys credited to the Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund or allocated to the Vehicle License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund of the County of Orange pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code to which Orange County may at any time be entitled shall be pledged, without any necessity for specific authorization of the pledge by the board of supervisors, to all certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds executed and delivered or issued, as the case may be, during 1996 or 1997, including obligations executed and delivered or issued before 2010 to refund those certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds, to finance or refinance the lease or lease-purchase of property of the county and having a stated maturity of 20 years or more. Any refunding obligations shall not have a final maturity later than the final maturity of the refunded obligations. The amount so pledged with respect to any fiscal year of the county shall not exceed the amounts to be paid in that fiscal year on those certificates or lease-revenue bonds.

(b)The state hereby covenants with the holders of any certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds, including refunding obligations, entitled to the pledge granted by this section that, as long as any of the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds entitled to the pledge granted by this section shall remain outstanding, the state shall not alter or amend the deposit of moneys into, or the allocation of moneys credited to, the Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11001) of Part 5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or the allocation of moneys to and from the Vehicle License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund of the County of Orange under Section 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code in any manner that would adversely affect the security of, or the ability of the county to pay the principal of and interest on, the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds entitled to the pledge granted by this section. However, nothing precludes any alteration or amendment if and when adequate provision has been made by law for the protection from impairment of the contract represented by the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds, and the right to so alter or amend is hereby reserved. The County of Orange may include this covenant of the state in the agreements or other documents underlying the certificates of participation or lease-revenue bonds.
