Section § 71854

Explanation
If a district in California has revenue bonds that were approved by more than two-thirds of voters, they can take on new debt to pay off the old bonds or cover costs involved in doing so. These new bonds must follow the same rules as other bonds issued by the district.
A district that has outstanding revenue bonds which were approved by more than two-thirds of the votes cast at the election authorizing such bonds may incur a bonded indebtedness pursuant to this part for the purpose of refunding such revenue bonds, whether or not such revenue bonds are then due, and for the payment of all incidental expenses in connection with the refunding of such revenue bonds. Such general obligation bonds shall be authorized, issued, and sold in all respects as provided in this part for the authorization, issuance, and sale of general obligation bonds of a district.
