Text

(a)
It is in the interest of the state and all public debt issuers within the state to enable the County of Orange to finance an acceptable plan of adjustment in order to improve the credit standing of California public debt issuers and to preserve and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the county and the state. To that end, successfully resolving the county bankruptcy and restoring the financial position of county government is a matter of statewide interest and concern.
(b)
As a further guarantee that the county will be able to prepare and obtain confirmation of an acceptable plan of adjustment, it is appropriate to create a back-up mechanism for appointment of a state trustee.
(c)
It is in the further interest of the state to facilitate and expedite the confirmation of an acceptable plan of adjustment by vesting in a state trustee the authority and discretion to present and enforce certain claims held by cities, public districts, or other governmental agencies against the county.
