Fiscal impact
The fiscal estimate provided by the California Legislative Analyst's Office said:[1]
| “ | For these types of bonds, the state typically makes principal and interest payments from the state's General Fund over a period of about 20 years. If all of the bonds authorized by this measure are sold at an interest rate of 7.5 percent, the cost would be about $805 million to pay off both the principal ($450 million) and interest (about $355 million). The average payment for principal and interest would be about $34 million per year.[2] | ” |
Path to the ballot
A simple majority vote was needed in each chamber of the California State Legislature to refer the measure to the ballot for voter consideration.
