Bond refunding options identified by the State Treasurer could save General Fund resources through reductions in debt service payments. Savings are estimated at $13.5M, as of January 9, 2015. This reduction would occur in the debt service line item, not in the State Treasurer's budget; the estimated figure is about $800,000 annualized.

Intent Language

HB0003: Item 51

The Legislature intends that in the event that sequestration or other federal action reduces the anticipated Build America Bond subsidy payments that are deposited into the Debt Service line item as federal funds, the Division of Finance, acting on behalf of the State Board of Bonding Commissioners, shall reduce the appropriated transfer from Nonlapsing Balances - Debt Service to the General Fund, One-time proportionally to the reduction in subsidy payment received, thus holding the Debt Service fund harmless.
