Article 1.2 - Leveraging the Recycling Market Development Zone Revolving Loan Fund
Section 17939.2 - Definition
"Leverage" and "leveraging" means the expenditure, lending, investment or other uses of funds from the Recycling Market Development Revolving Loan Program Subaccount (Public Resources Code Section 42023.1) in a manner that generates or facilitates the generation of financial capital that is made available as loans to borrowers eligible for loans under the Board's Recycling Market Development Revolving Loan Program as described in Article 1.1 of this Chapter. Leveraging programs increase the number and value of loans for specified purposes beyond that which the Board, acting alone, could make. Typical examples of leveraging include, without limitation, pooling funds by multiple entities under specified arrangements to create a greater supply of loan capital for eligible borrowers, loan guarantee programs where an entity guarantees all or a portion of an eligible loan, and insurance where an entity assures that a loan will be repaid in a timely manner.
