30 - PUBLIC FINANCE

The Public Finance Division is responsible for selling all State of California general obligation bonds, revenue anticipation notes, commercial paper notes, revenue bonds, and any other indebtedness including securitization of assets. The Division also provides trust services for most state bonds. Interim financing from the Pooled Money Investment Account is also arranged to meet the immediate cash needs of the various bond programs. Interest costs are minimized through a planned bond-marketing program. This program includes disseminating information to bondholders through the Investor Relations Program.

The Division also assures compliance with federal tax laws applicable to state debt by investing and reinvesting bond sale proceeds as needed to meet federal yield restriction requirements, tracking expenditures, and computing and rebating arbitrage profit or other payments to the federal government.
