the state agency or officer, shall be deposited with the Treasurer
in accordance with Sections 16305 to 16305.7, inclusive.
   All money deposited with the Treasurer pursuant to this section

in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, and delivery of
any and all manner of lease, installment sale or purchase agreement,
bond, note, bond anticipation note, certificate of participation, or
other obligation or certificate evidencing an obligation of the
state or any department, agency, board, commission, authority, or
other entity of the state or of which the state is a member.
   (b) When acting in any capacity authorized by subdivision (a), the
Treasurer may exercise all powers that may be exercised by any
private person, corporation, bank, trust company, or legal entity in
