Industrial Development Bonds. 3 Interest........................................................... 3
Industrial Development Bonds. Industrial development bonds are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid is exempt from federal income tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to finance various privately operated facilities for business and manufacturing, housing, sports, and pollution control. These bonds may also be used to finance public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports, and parking. The payment of the principal and interest on such bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property financed by the bond as security for those payments. |_| Xxxxx-Xxxx Bonds. These are bonds issued under the California Xxxxx-Xxxx Community Facilities Act. They are used to finance infrastructure projects, such as roads or sewage treatment plants. In most cases they are secured by real estate taxes levied on property located in the same community as the project. This type of financing was created in response to statutory limits on real property taxes that were enacted in California. The bonds do not constitute an obligation of a municipal government.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax Reform Act") reorganized, as well as amended, the rules governing tax exemption for interest on certain types of municipal securities. The Tax Reform Act generally did not change the tax treatment of bonds issued in order to finance governmental operations. Thus, interest on general obligation bonds issued by or on behalf of state or local governments, the proceeds of which are used to finance the operations of such governments, continues to be tax-exempt. However, the Tax Reform Act limited the use of tax-exempt bonds for non-governmental (private) purposes. More stringent restrictions were placed on the use of proceeds of such bonds. Interest on certain private activity bonds is taxable under the revised rules. There is an exception for "qualified" tax-exempt private activity bonds, for example, exempt facility bonds including certain industrial development bonds, qualified mortgage...
