The proceeds from the sale of all bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter shall be paid to the State Treasurer for the credit of the commission and forthwith deposited as demand deposits in such depositary or depositaries as are authorized by law to receive deposits of state funds, to the credit of a fund to be designated as the acquisition and construction fund of the particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities for which the bonds were issued and sold. The fund shall, at all times, be kept segregated and set apart from all other funds.

Cal. Streets and Highways Code - SHC § 30301. Section 30301.

The proceeds from the sale of the bonds shall be paid out or disbursed solely for the acquisition or construction of the particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities, the acquisition of the necessary lands and easements therefor, and the payment of interest on the bonds during the period of actual construction and for a period of six months thereafter, only as the need therefor arises. The commission may agree with the purchaser of the bonds upon any conditions or limitations restricting the disbursement of such funds which are deemed advisable for the purpose of assuring the proper application of the funds.

Cal. Streets and Highways Code - SHC § 30302. Section 30302.

All money in the particular acquisition and construction fund not required to meet current acquisition or construction costs of the toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities for which the bonds were issued and sold, and all funds constituting surplus revenues which are not immediately needed for the particular object or purpose to which they are required to be applied or to which they are pledged, shall be invested in bonds and obligations eligible for investment of surplus state money. The commission may provide, in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the bonds, that the investment of such money shall be made only in particular bonds and obligations within the classifications eligible for such investment, and such provisions shall be binding upon the commission and all officials having anything to do with the investment.

Cal. Streets and Highways Code - SHC § 30303. Section 30303.

Any surplus which exists in the particular acquisition and construction fund shall be applied to the retirement, by purchase or call, of bonds issued for the acquisition or construction of the particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities. If the bonds cannot be purchased at a price satisfactory to the commission and are not by their terms callable prior to maturity, the surplus shall be paid into the fund applicable to the payment of principal and interest of the bonds and shall be used for that purpose. The proceedings authorizing the issuance of bonds may provide limitations and conditions upon the time and manner of applying the surplus to the purchase and call of outstanding bonds and the terms upon which they shall be purchased or called, and such limitations and conditions shall be followed and observed in the application and use of the surplus. All bonds retired by purchase or call shall be immediately canceled.

The treasurer shall thereafter transfer from each separate toll revenue fund to the place or places of payment named in the bonds such sums as are required to pay the interest on the bonds and to redeem the principal thereof as such interest payments and bond redemptions fall due for all bonds issued and sold for the construction or acquisition of the particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities producing the tolls or revenues deposited in the toll revenue fund. All funds transferred for the payment of principal or interest on bonds issued for any particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities shall be segregated and applied solely for the payment of such principal and interest.

The money remaining in each separate toll revenue fund, after providing the amount required for interest and redemption of bonds, shall be held and applied as provided in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the bonds. If the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the bonds do not require surplus revenues to be held or applied in any particular manner, they shall be allocated and used for other purposes incidental to the acquisition, construction, operation, and maintenance of the particular toll bridge or other highway crossing, transportation facilities, or additional transportation facilities as the commission determines.
