SB 1257 declares that bonds
may not be issued for any institution if the projected debt service and
certificates of participation exceed 8% of the institution’s total projected
expenditures and mandatory transfers.
The calculation must be included in the institution’s capital improvement
plan. Additionally, the Joint Committee
on Capital Review (JCCR) must review projects to be acquired.
Statute authorizes the JCCR to develop and approve formulas for computing annual building renewal funding, approve building systems for capital improvement plans and review current capital improvement plans. JCCR is required to report to the Legislature concerning funding for land acquisition, capital projects and building renewal and must review the scope, purpose and estimated costs when projects are estimated over $250,000.
Current statute states that ABOR has the authority to issue bonds to acquire projects for university institutions if approved by the Legislature. ABOR also has the power to refund bonds issued to acquire projects and refund any such refunding bonds. The interest rate and form of the bond, dates of issue and other matters relating to bond issuance are determined by ABOR. However, statute specifies that bonds must mature within 40 years of the initial date of issue.
