Build America Bonds [+]

Build America Bonds (BABs) were created in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Taxable bonds were issued by governmental entities (including state agencies) as Tax Credit BABs or as Direct Payment BABs:

  • Tax Credit BABs provide a federal tax credit to investors equal to 35 percent of the interest received from the bond issuer.
  • Direct Payment BABs provide a direct federal reimbursement to state and local governmental issuers equal to 35 percent of the interest paid on the bonds.

Authority to issue BABs expired on Dec. 31, 2010. Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, across-the-board sequestration took effect on March 1, 2013 — reducing the federal subsidy percentage for BABs interest payments.

A balance of $440.0 million of Taxable Revenue Bonds issued under the Direct Payment BABs program remained outstanding at fiscal year-end.

Schedule 2B – Changes in Bonded Indebtedness [+]

For the Fiscal Year Ended Aug. 31, 20CY.

The following tables are prepared using par value information with ending par value balance reconciled to an ending net balance. The reconciling item includes accrual adjustments. A par value adjustment column has been added to provide an accurate Bonds Outstanding Ending Balance (at par).

The Schedule 2B – Accrual report in the BRS web application is accrual based and does not require a reconciliation. This format is an acceptable presentation.

GASB 88 requires agencies to disclose direct borrowings and direct placements of debt separately from all other debt. For more information, see Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements.
