SECTION 59590-59598

59590. If the holders of one or more of the original bonds do not
enter any proposal or contract with the legislative body to refund
the bonds but the holders of 75 percent or more of the bonds do
contract with the legislative body which conducts the proceedings, it
may refund all of the bonds pursuant to this chapter. In such event,
prior to recording the reassessment, sufficient money to provide
adequately for the retirement or payment of the original bonds of the
nonconsenting holders shall be set aside in the proper fund for that
purpose.

59591. Any local agency authorized by this chapter to appropriate
money to aid in refunding the original bonds of the district may make
an advancement, contribution, or an additional contribution to
provide money to pay or retire bonds of the nonconsenting holders.

59592. When any local agency, person, or corporation advances money
for the payment or retirement of the original bonds of nonconsenting
holders, the legislative body may deliver at par all or part of the
new bonds which are not to be delivered to consenting bondholders to
such local agency, person, or corporation, or sell at par all or part
of such bonds, and from the proceeds wholly or partly reimburse such
local agency, person, or corporation. The legislative body may
contract to make such sale or delivery.

59593. If the legislative body makes all or part of such
advancement it may reimburse the local agency of which it is the
legislative body, entirely or partially by taking all or part of such
new bonds at par.

59594. Any cash collected on reassessments and not required to pay
consenting bondholders may also be used to reimburse in whole or in
part any local agency, person, or corporation making the advance, and
the legislative body may contract to so apply such cash.

59595. The legislative body may use any other method of raising
funds for the payment or retirement of the original bonds of
nonconsenting bondholders which will adequately provide the money
necessary for such payment or retirement prior to the recordation of
the reassessment.

59596. When money is placed in any fund for the retirement or
payment of the original bonds of nonconsenting holders it shall be
used only for that purpose. After all the original bonds of
nonconsenting holders have been paid or retired, any sum remaining in
the fund shall be returned to the local agency which advanced it.

59597. If the proposals or contract with the bondholders so
provides, the legislative body may sell all of the new bonds for cash
and pay the bondholders in cash at a price to be fixed in the
proposals or contract.

59598. If the discharge of the original bonds of any nonconsenting
holders at less than par has been authorized by any final decree or
order confirming a plan of readjustment pursuant to a federal
bankruptcy law in any proceedings initiated pursuant to this chapter,
the legislative body may perform all acts necessary to discharge the
bonds pursuant to the decree or order.
