Title 36, Chapter 42, Section 9
( 36-42-9)
(a) Revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations issued by an
authority shall be paid solely from the property (including, but not
limited to, real property, fixtures, personal property, revenues, or
other funds) pledged, mortgaged, conveyed, assigned, hypothecated,
or otherwise encumbered to secure or to pay such bonds, notes, or
other obligations. (b) All revenue bonds, notes, and other obligations shall be
authorized by resolution of the authority, adopted by a majority
vote of the directors of the authority at a regular or special
meeting. (c) Reserved. (d) Revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall bear such date
or dates, shall mature at such time or times (not more than 40 years
from their respective dates), shall bear interest at such rate or
rates (which may be fixed or may fluctuate or otherwise change from
time to time), shall be subject to redemption on such terms, and
shall contain such other terms, provisions, covenants, assignments,
and conditions as the resolution authorizing the issuance of such
bonds, notes, or other obligations may permit or provide. The terms,
provisions, covenants, assignments, and conditions contained in or
provided or permitted by any resolution of the authority authorizing
the issuance of such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations
shall bind the directors of the authority then in office and their
successors. (e) The authority shall have power from time to time and whenever it
deems it expedient to refund any bonds by the issuance of new bonds,
whether or not the bonds to be refunded have matured, and may issue
bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any
other purpose permitted under this chapter. The refunding bonds may
be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded, with such cash
adjustments as may be agreed upon, or may be sold and the proceeds
applied to the purchase or redemption of the bonds to be refunded. (f) There shall be no limitation upon the amount of revenue bonds,
notes, or other obligations which any authority may issue. Any
limitations with respect to interest rates or any maximum interest
rate or rates found in Article 3 of Chapter 82 of this title, the
"Revenue Bond Law," the usury laws of this state, or any other laws
of this state shall not apply to revenue bonds, notes, or other
obligations of an authority. |
