Financial affairs.
Summary
Existing law prescribes the instruments in, and criteria by which, a local agency, as defined, may invest and deposit its funds, including its surplus funds. Existing law authorizes a local agency to invest in certificates of deposit provided that they do not exceed 30% of the agency's funds that may be invested for this purpose, as specified. This bill would, until January 1, 2017, remove the term "certificates of deposit" and instead authorize a local agency to invest in deposits, as specified, and limit the amount of its funds that an agency may place with any one private sector entity that assists in the placement of deposits with one or more commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, or credit unions that are located in the United States. The bill would prescribe requirements for the financial institutions that a private sector entity is authorized to use.
