Common use of State Action Clause in Contracts

State Action. Under the Wildfire Financing Law, the State of California has pledged that it will not take or permit any action that would impair the value of the Recovery Property transferred on such date, or, except as permitted by Section 850.1(g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, reduce, alter or impair the Fixed Recovery Charges relating to the Recovery Property until the principal, interest and premium and any other charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the Recovery Bonds relating to the Recovery Property have been paid and performed in full. Under the laws of the State of California and the United States, any law enacted by the State of California, whether by legislation or voter initiative, that repeals or amends the Wildfire Financing Law or take any other action in contravention of the State pledge would constitute a “taking,” for which just compensation must be paid, if, for a public use, either the law (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the bondholders in the recovery property or denied all economically productive use of the Recovery Property; (b) destroyed the recovery property other than in response to emergency conditions; or (c) substantially reduced, altered or impaired the value of the recovery property so as to unduly interfere with the reasonable expectations of the bondholders arising from their investments in the Recovery Bonds. There is no assurance, however, that, even if a court were to award just compensation it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest on the Recovery Bonds.
