9. General Obligation Bonds:

General obligation bonds are authorized and issued primarily to provide funds for state owned capital
improvements, including facilities for institutions of higher learning, and the construction of public schools in
political subdivisions. Bonds have also been issued for local governmental improvements, including grants and
loans for water quality improvement projects and correctional facilities, and to provide funds for repayable
loans or outright grants to private, not-for-profit cultural or educational institutions. Under constitutional
requirements and practice, the Maryland General Assembly, by a separate enabling act, authorizes a loan for a
particular object or purpose. Thereafter the Board of Public Works, a constitutional body composed of the
Governor, the Comptroller of the Treasury and the State Treasurer, by resolution authorizes the issuance of
bonds in a specified amount for part or all of the loan authorized by a particular enabling act.

General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the State and, pursuant to the State
Constitution, they must be fully paid within 15 years from the date of issue.
