Summary

Under existing law, states' attorneys general and various tobacco product manufacturers have entered into a Master Settlement Agreement, in settlement of various lawsuits, that provides for the allocation of money to the states and certain territories. The state has entered into a memorandum of understanding providing for the allocation of the state's share of moneys to be received under the Master Settlement Agreement between the state and the various local governments of the state. The Attorney General, on behalf of the state, has entered into the California escrow agreement with the California escrow agent named in the agreement relating to the division between the state and the participating jurisdictions of amounts payable under the Master Settlement Agreement. Existing law sets forth the duties of the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank and its board of directors generally in performing various financing transactions, including the issuance of bonds or the authorizing of the issuance of bonds by a trust, partnership, limited partnership, association, corporation, nonprofit corporation, or other entity, known as a special purpose trust. Under existing law, the bank is authorized to sell for, and on behalf of, the state all or any portion of the state's tobacco assets, as defined, to a special purpose trust consisting of a not-for-profit corporation. This bill would authorize the Attorney General to negotiate amendments to the Master Settlement Agreement, the memorandum of understanding, and the California escrow agreement, provided that those amendments do not materially adversely alter, limit, or impair the rights to receive tobacco assets sold to the special purpose trust, nor in any way materially impair the rights and remedies of bondholders or the security for their bond until those bonds, together with the interest on the bonds and costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding on behalf of the bondholders, are fully paid and discharged. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
