California is planning to sell $2.5 billion of tax-exempt general obligation bonds later this month, the state’s second largest offering this year.

Proceeds from the sale will be used to finance voter-approved projects, pay down outstanding commercial paper and refund outstanding general obligation bonds, according to ratings documents provided by Fitch Ratings, which scores the debt AA.
