Section § 26042

Explanation

This law outlines the Legislature's intent to make up for any loss of funds to the state's General Fund caused by buying bonds from a certain authority. The restoration of these funds should come from money received by the State Lands Commission as allocated by another section.

It is the intent of the Legislature that any loss of revenue to the General Fund occasioned by the purchase of bonds issued by the authority shall be restored to the General Fund from revenues, moneys, and remittances received by the State Lands Commission and allocated pursuant to Section 6217.

Section § 26042.2

Explanation

Every year on May 10, starting from 1982, a specific agency must calculate an amount equivalent to 0.5% of all its outstanding bonds as of May 1 of that year. This calculated amount is considered the revenue loss for the General Fund for that year. The agency then reports this calculation to the Controller.

On May 10, 1982, and on each May 10 thereafter, the authority shall make a determination of an amount equal to one-half of 1 percent of the total of all outstanding bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 (commencing with Section 26020) of Chapter 1 as of May 1 of such year. The amount determined shall be deemed the General Fund revenue loss for the year. The authority shall inform the Controller of the determination made under this section.

Section § 26042.4

Explanation

Starting from May 15, 1982, the California Controller is required to move a specific amount of money from the Energy and Resources Fund to the state's General Fund every year on the same date. This will only happen if Assembly Bill 2973, from the 1979-80 legislative session, was officially made into law and established the Energy and Resources Fund.

On May 15, 1982, and on each May 15 thereafter, the Controller shall transfer to the General Fund the amount determined by the authority pursuant to Section 26042.2 from the Energy and Resources Fund.
This section shall become operative only if Assembly Bill No. 2973 of the 1979–80 Regular Session is chaptered and creates the Energy and Resources Fund.
