16780. (a) The committee may provide for the issuance and sale or exchange of refunding bonds for the purpose of redeeming, retiring, or purchasing for retirement, outstanding bonds at or before their maturity, if the committee determines that refunding is necessary or advisable in order to do either of the following: (1) To effect a favorable reorganization of the debt structure of the state. (2) To effect a saving in debt service cost to the state, as measured by the present value of that saving. (b) When determining debt service savings for purposes of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the committee shall include, as interest on a refunded bond, the interest, if any, that will result from a related hedging contract, as described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 16731. The committee may, when determining debt service savings, for purposes of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), base the interest of a refunding bond upon the effective fixed interest rate under a hedging contract described in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 16731. 16781. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this article or in subdivision (b), all of the provisions of this chapter are applicable to the issuance and sale of refunding bonds.

(2) Notwithstanding Section 16754.3, refunding bonds may be sold by negotiated sale if the Treasurer determines that it is in the best interest of the state to do so. 16781.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the renewal and reissuance from time to time of commercial paper notes within the amount and time of a program authorized by the committee pursuant to Section 16731.6 shall be considered a refunding of the amount of the commercial paper notes maturing from time to time that complies with this article. 16782. (a) Refunding bonds may be issued in a principal amount sufficient to provide funds, either directly or by the purchase of nonredeemable securities, the principal and interest on which shall provide funds for the payment of any or all of the following: (1) The principal of or purchase price of the bonds to be refunded by the refunding bonds.

(3) Interest upon the refunding bonds from the date of sale to the date of payment of the bonds to be refunded, whether at maturity, pursuant to the call thereof or pursuant to any agreement with the holders thereof. (4) Any premium necessary in the calling, retiring, or purchase of the outstanding bonds. (5) The interest accruing on the outstanding bonds to the date of their call, retirement, or purchase. (6) Subject to the limitation on those payments contained in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 16731, any termination payment owed by the state after offset for any payments made to the state pursuant to any hedging contract that was entered into in connection with the bonds to be refunded. Refunding bonds may be exchanged at not less than their par value and accrued interest for outstanding bonds to be refunded thereby, and this chapter with respect to the sale of bonds does not apply to that exchange. (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the principal amount of any issue of refunding bonds shall not exceed the original aggregate principal amount of the series of bonds to be refunded.

The final maturity date of any refunding bonds shall not be later than the final maturity date of the series of bonds being refunded. 16784. The Refunding Escrow Fund is hereby created as a special fund in the State Treasury and is continuously appropriated for the purposes of this section. The proceeds of each sale of refunding bonds and any other available moneys shall be (1) set aside in a separate account within the Refunding Escrow Fund, (2) held in trust for the benefit of the holders of either or both of the bonds which are to be refunded or of the refunding bonds as provided in the resolution of the committee authorizing the issuance of the refunding bonds, (3) used only for the payment of the principal of, and interest and any redemption premium on, or the purchase price of the refunded bonds for the payment of interest on the refunding bonds up to the date of the redemption or payment of the bonds to be refunded, and (4) for the other purposes set forth in Section 16782. Moneys in each separate account shall be invested by the Treasurer in accordance with the resolution of the committee providing for the issuance of the refunding bonds, and any income from that investment shall be credited to the account from which the investment was made. 16785. Refunding bonds shall be valid and binding obligations of the State of California, and the full faith and credit of the State of California shall be pledged for the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as the principal and interest become due and payable. 16786.
