Capital Investment
About Us
The Capital Investment Section (CIS) has direct responsibility for managing several independent financing programs and for coordinating statewide budgeting for bonds and capital construction.
 
DAS is responsible for approval of state Article XI-Q bonds and other financing agreements. XI-Q bonds are the primary source for financing state facilities and capital equipment (excluding article XI-G and XI-F bonds for Higher Education). CIS coordinates issuance of State Lottery Bonds and Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs). CIS also administers the Pension Obligation Bond Program.
 

Current Topics
On November 18, the State completed the sale of $101.62 million in refunding bonds issued under the authority of Article XI-Q and Article XI-O of the State Constitution.  This refunding achieved net present value savings of $6.1 million.  Most of these savings were in General Fund supported programs.
 
We have recently posted our arbitrage compliance procedures on this Website.  In addition to our inter-agency agreements, we believe this will help state agencies understand what is expected of them when projects are financed with tax-exempt bonds.
 
Budget Instructions for 2013-15 are expected to be available in March.  Agencies planning to finance projects through bonds or capital leases should review requirements for approval of such actions, including the May 15 deadline for XI-Q requests.
