Overview
Outlines the requirements for the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) to include in the
reports relating to the issuance of bonds and securities.
History
Annually by June 30, ADOA is required to ascertain and record all issues of certificates of
participation, bonds or other securities issued for a term in excess of one year by this state or a
city, town, county, irrigation district, school district, other political subdivision or municipal property
corporation within the state. These records must show the amount, denomination, date of
issuance, rates of interest, dates of the bonds, maturity, certificates of participation or securities
and other information ADOA requires. Current statute details the exact requirements of what
must be included in the reports and stipulates that reports relating to the issuance of bonds and
