The bill would require, among other things, that the lease not exceed a 50-year term.

Existing law prohibits an investment firm, as defined, from having specified interests in a new issue of bonds from a local agency.

The bill would also prohibit a local agency from entering into an underwriting relationship with an individual or firm, with respect to a new issue of bonds that requires voter approval on or after January 1, 2014, if the local agency has a financial advisory relationship with that individual or firm with respect to the same issue of bonds. The bill would define certain terms for those purposes.

The act limits the liability of a space flight entity that complies with these provisions. This bill would include in the warning statement provisions a prohibition against construing those provisions to be contrary to the public policy of this state.
