Legislative Update- SB 449 / HB 3416Prohibiting the Use of Capital Appreciation Bonds 0
Summary of SB 449 (Hinojosa) and HB 3416 (Flynn): •
During the last legislative session, SB 449 was filed by Senator Juan Hinojosa (McAllen) to prohibit the use of Capital Appreciation Bonds ("CAB") by Texas school districts and local governments and its companion bill, HB 3416, was filed by Representative Dan Flynn (Canton). These bills did not pertain to State Agencies or transportation issuers.
•
Working with Senator Hinojosa and Representative Flynn's representatives, the CAB bills were amended to permit the issuance of CABs if:
•!• Maximum CAB maturity was 20 years or less; and •!• CABs comprised no more than 20°/o of a district's total bond payments. •
On April 9, 2013, SB 449 passed the Senate by a vote of 28 ''Yeas" to 3 "Nays" but the bill later died in the House.
•
In response to Poway Unified School District and other California school districts issuing over $7.0 billion of CABs since year 2007, California has enacted legislation that limits CABs to a maximum term of 25 years and interest may not exceed 4X the principal amount.
•
With Representative Flynn also serving as Co-Chair of the House Transparency in State Agency Operations Committee and given the continuing media reports, CABs issued by school districts will continue to be reviewed.
