A. NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Build
America Bonds program, which subsidizes
municipalities issuing taxable debt,
will expand modestly as part of the jobs
bill sent to President Barack Obama on
Wednesday, leaving up in the air whether
the program will extend beyond this
year.

Launched as part of last year's stimulus
bill, the program has allowed issuers of
tax-exempt debt -- mainly states and
local municipalities -- to sell taxable
bonds under the Build America program
and get reimbursed a portion of the
extra yield by the federal government.

The ability to sell taxable bonds, with
a subsidy, has given issuers access to
the much bigger, broader corporate bond
market, as well as groups of investors
who wouldn't normally consider
tax-exempt munis - namely pension funds
and overseas investors.
