Section 17276.

(a) If on the maturity date indorsed on a registered reimbursement warrant, there is no money available for its payment, either from unapplied money, or from the proceeds of refunding warrants the registered reimbursement warrant shall continue to bear interest on the principal amount of the warrant and shall become payable in the same manner as registered warrants not bearing maturity dates.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 17222, if at any time it is necessary to register warrants pursuant to this chapter for the payment of any interest payment on a registered reimbursement warrant, those warrants shall bear interest at the fixed or variable rate determined by the Controller and as specified in the registered reimbursement warrant as the interest rate for those warrants. Interest on those warrants shall be payable only upon redemption of the warrants.

(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), in no case shall the total sum of interest payments on the registered reimbursement warrant and the warrants registered for the payment of any interest payment on that registered reimbursement warrant exceed an amount equal to the interest that could have accrued on the registered reimbursement warrant at the maximum interest rate that could have been fixed by the committee thereon pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 17244.
