The state board shall, by regulation, prescribe rules and procedures for all of the following:

(a)

To pay money from the Clean Water Bond Guarantee Fund to an insured local agency or bondholder in the event that the amount in the local agency’s bond reserve fund falls below a minimum amount, or in the event of failure by the local agency to pay the principal of, or interest on, an insured bond issue on time, as the state board may require.

(b)

To require, by court action if necessary, a local agency to raise sewer service charges, levy additional assessments, collect charges or assessments, or foreclose or otherwise sell property as needed to prevent a reduction in the local agency’s bond reserve fund, or to prevent default, or to collect funds to repay to the fund any payments made pursuant to subdivision (a).
