Use of premiums received in issuance of municipal obligations
Under current law, the proceeds of municipal obligations must be paid into a municipality's borrowed money fund, except that any accrued interest and any premium received when municipal obligations are sold above par value must be paid into the debt service fund. In general, moneys may be disbursed from the borrowed money fund only for the purposes for which the municipal obligations were issued and from the debt service fund only to pay debt service on the obligations. Under this bill, a premium received when municipal obligations are sold above par value is paid into the debt service fund only to the extent provided in a resolution authorizing the issuance of the municipal obligations.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
