(1) Payments on authority bonds.

(2) Payments under credit enhancement or liquidity support agreements in connection with authority bonds.

(3) Amounts pledged or assigned under one or more pledges or assignments to pay authority bonds or obligations under these credit enhancement or liquidity support agreements.

(4) Payments to fund reserves available to pay any of the payments described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), exclusively until paid.

(5) Fees and charges contemplated by the instruments of the authority, trustees, tender agents, remarketing agents, credit enhancement and liquidity support providers, and service providers.

c) To participate under this section, the participating party shall do all of the following:

(1) Elect to participate in a state intercept or local intercept, or both, by an action of its governing board taken in compliance with the rules of that board. For a local intercept, the participating party shall send to the county treasurer, or other appropriate county fiscal officer, a request for the county to participate. A county is not required to participate. A county may agree to participate as evidenced by an agreement among the participating party or parties, the county, and the authority.

(2) Provide written notice to the Controller, with respect to a state intercept, or to the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer, with respect to a local intercept, no later than the date of the issuance of the bonds or days before the next payment, whichever is later, of all of the following: (

i) Payment delivery instructions, which may be by wire transfer or other method approved by the Controller or county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer, as applicable.

(

d) The participating party may amend, supplement, or restate the notice required pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (

c) for any reason, including, but not necessarily limited to, providing for new or increased payments. The participating party shall certify in the notice and in any amendment, supplement, or restatement of the notice that each and every payment reflected in the

schedule is a payment described in subdivision (

a) and the amounts scheduled do not exceed the actual or reasonably estimated payment obligations to be funded pursuant to this section. The participating party shall also represent in the notice that it is not submitting the notice for the purpose of accelerating a participating party’s receipt of its apportionments. This

section does not prohibit transfer by the recipient of an apportionment under this

section to the participating party submitting the notice of the excess apportionment above the amount needed to fund actual payments where the excess resulted from erroneous estimation of scheduled payments or otherwise. (

e) Upon receipt of the notice required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), the Controller shall make an apportionment to the indicated recipient on the date, or during the period, shown in the

schedule in accordance with all of the following:

(1) If the participating party requests transfers in full as scheduled, in the amount of the scheduled transfer or whatever lesser amount is available from the sources described in subdivision (f).

(2) If the participating party does not request transfers in full as scheduled, in the amount of the anticipated deficiency for the purpose of making the required payment indicated in a written request of the participating party to the Controller and in the amount of the actual shortfall in payment indicated in a written request of the recipient or the participating party to the Controller or whatever lesser amount is available from the sources described in subdivision (f).

(3) To the extent funds available for an apportionment are insufficient to pay the amount set forth in a

schedule in any period, the Controller shall, if and as requested in the notice, reschedule the payment of all or a portion of the deficiency to a subsequent period.

(4) In making apportionments under this section, the Controller may rely conclusively and without liability on any notice or request delivered under this section, including any notice of request delivered before January 1, 2015. The Controller may make, but is not obligated to make, apportionments not reflected on a notice or on an amended, supplemented, or restated notice delivered under this

section that the Controller receives less than days before when the apportionment would otherwise be required. (

f) The Controller shall make an apportionment under this

section only from moneys designated for apportionment to the participating party delivering the notice, and only from one or more of the following:

(1) Any funding apportioned by the state for purposes of the local control funding formula pursuant to

Section 42238.02, as implemented by

Section 42238.03, or state categorical or grant programs, to a school district or county office of education without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment.

(2) Any funding apportioned by the state for purposes of the local control funding formula pursuant to

Section 42238.02, as implemented by

Section 42238.03, or state categorical or grant programs, to a charter school without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment.

(3) Any funding apportioned by the state for purposes of community college apportionments pursuant to Sections 84750.4 and 84750.5, or state categorical or grant programs, to a community college district without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment. (

schedule in accordance with all of the following:

(2) If the participating party does not request transfers in full as scheduled, in the amount of the anticipated deficiency for the purpose of making the required payment indicated in a written request of the participating party to the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer and in the amount of the actual shortfall in payment indicated in a written request of the recipient or the participating party to the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer or whatever lesser amount is available from the sources described in subdivision (h).

(3) To the extent funds available for an apportionment or revenue transfer are insufficient to pay the amount set forth in a

schedule in any period, the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer shall, if and as requested in the notice, reschedule the payment of all or a portion of the deficiency to a subsequent period.

(4) In making apportionments under this section, the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer may rely conclusively and without liability on any notice or request delivered under this section. The county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer may make, but is not obligated to make, apportionments or revenue transfers not reflected on a notice or on an amended, supplemented, or restated notice delivered under this

section that the county treasurer or other appropriate county fiscal officer receives less than days before when the apportionment would otherwise be required. (

(3) Any funding apportioned or administered by a county for purposes of community college apportionments pursuant to Sections 84750.4 and 84750.5 to a community college district without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment. (i)

(1) The amount apportioned for a participating party pursuant to this

section shall be deemed to be an allocation to the participating party, and shall be included in the computation of allocation, limit, entitlement, or apportionment for the participating party.

(2) The participating party and its creditors do not have a claim to funds apportioned or anticipated to be apportioned by the Controller or the county treasurer or appropriate county fiscal officer, as applicable, pursuant to this section. (j)

(1) The authority may require participation under this

section under the terms of any financing or refinancing under this

chapter to provide for one or more of the payments described in paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a). The authority may impose limits on new participation under this section. The authority may require participating parties to apply to the authority for participation.
