in terms of not to exceed 1 percent, or any lesser percentage
thereof. The commission shall not levy the tax at a rate other than 1
percent or three-fourths, one-half, or one-fourth of 1 percent,
unless specifically authorized by the Legislature.
(b) The tax rate adopted pursuant to this article, unless
otherwise prohibited, may be increased by the commission by ordinance
adopted in the manner and by the vote stated in Section 132301 and
approved by a majority of the electors voting on the measure at an
election called for that purpose by the commission.
132308. The commission may reduce a tax rate to percentages lower
than that approved by the voters and may further provide for an
increase of the tax rate if it has previously been lowered. However,
the tax rate may not be increased to a rate above the tax rate

Any revised tax rate may be adopted only if the commission
determines, by a two-thirds vote, that the proceeds of the taxes with
the altered tax rate will be sufficient to provide for the payment

indebtedness incurred by the commission which was to be payable from
the proceeds of the retail transactions and use tax.
132309. (a) The commission, as part of the ballot proposition to

this article is to be imposed.
132310. (a) The bonds authorized by the voters concurrently with
the approval of the retail transactions and use tax may be issued by

proceeds of the tax.
(b) The pledge of retail transactions and use taxes to the limited
tax bonds authorized under this article shall have priority over the
use of any of the taxes for "pay-as-you-go" financing, except to the
extent that the priority is expressly restricted in the resolution

interest rate, the variable rate shall on no day exceed the maximum
rate permitted for bonds of the commission on that day by Section
53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of
law. However, the variable interest rate so permitted may on any day
exceed that maximum rate if the interest paid on the bonds from their
date of original issuance to that day does not exceed the total
interest which would have been permitted to have been paid on the
bonds if the bonds had borne interest at all times from the date of
issuance to that day at the maximum rate permitted from time to time
by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable
provisions of law.
(e) The maximum discount on the sale of the bonds. However, the
bonds shall not be sold at less than 95 percent of the principal
amount in the manner determined by the commission. Each resolution
shall provide for the issuance of bonds in the amounts as may be
necessary, until the full amount of the bonds authorized has been
issued. The full amount of bonds may be divided into two or more
series with different dates of payment fixed for the bonds of each
series. A bond need not mature on its anniversary date.
132312. Any bonds issued pursuant to this article are a legal
investment for all trust funds; for the funds of insurance companies,
commercial and savings banks, and trust companies; and for state
school funds. Whenever any money or funds may, by any law now or
hereafter enacted, be invested in bonds of cities, counties, school
districts, or other districts within the state, those funds may be
invested in the bonds issued pursuant to this article, and whenever
bonds of cities, counties, school districts, or other districts
within this state may, by any law now or hereafter enacted, be used
as security for the performance of any act or the deposit of any
public money, the bonds issued pursuant to this article may be so
used. The provisions of this article are in addition to all other
laws relating to legal investments and shall be controlling as the
