Louisiana panel approves $425M in gas and fuel revs

BY SourceMedia | MUNICIPAL | 07/21/25 02:03 PM EDT By Robert Slavin

Louisiana's State Bond Commission approved the issuance of $425 million in gasoline and fuel revenue refunding bonds.

The bonds, tentatively scheduled to price Aug. 18 with JP Morgan serving as lead underwriter, will mature no later than May 1, 2035, and refund Series 2020 gasoline and fuel tax revenue refunding term loan notes.

Public Resources Advisory Group will serve as municipal advisor and Foley & Judell, LLP will be the bond counsel. Oppenheimer and FHN Financial will co-manage the deal, Folse said.

The bonds will be issued on parity with outstanding first lien bonds: Series 2017B, 2020A Notes, 2020 A-2, 2022 A, and 2022 B.

The bonds are payable primarily from taxes on gasoline and motor fuels.

The commission unanimously approved the bonds Thursday.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
