What does the Public Finance Division do?

The Public Finance Division (PFD) manages the State’s debt portfolio, overseeing the issuance of debt, and monitors and services the State’s outstanding debt. PFD handles the sale of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds (including lease revenue), short term notes and commercial paper. PFD acts as agent for sale for revenue bonds issued by various financing authorities. PFD calculates and ensures the timely and accurate payment of debt service (principal and interest), oversees ongoing tax compliance, and manages disclosure requirements.
