The interest, income and profits, if any, earned or realized on any such investment may also be applied to the payment of the outstanding bonds to be refunded or to the payment of interest on the refunding bonds. After the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied and carried out, any balance of the proceeds and interest, income and profits, if any, earned or realized on the investments thereof may be returned to the authority for use by the authority.(d) The portion of the proceeds of any bonds issued for the additional purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of working capital or constructing and acquiring additions, improvements, extensions, or enlargements of a project may be invested and reinvested in obligations or securities authorized by resolution of the authority, maturing not later than the time or times when the proceeds will be needed for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost. The interest, income, and profits, if any, earned or realized on the investment may be applied to the payment of all or any part of the cost or may be used by the authority in any lawful manner.(e) All of those refunding bonds are subject to this chapter in the same manner and to the same extent as other bonds issued pursuant to this chapter.Amended by Stats 2023 ch 131 (AB 1754),s 50, eff. 1/1/2024.Amended by Stats 2022 ch 123 (AB 2272),s 4, eff. 1/1/2023.Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 1033, Sec. 2.
