- Interest rate and maturity - Form - Signatures - Sale - Issuance of refunding notes and bonds. A. The Commission may provide by resolution, from time to time, for the issuance of revenue notes and bonds for its lawful purposes, in such amount or amounts as are necessary, incidental, or convenient to the exercise of powers, rights, privileges, and functions conferred upon it by this act or other law. The principal of and interest on any indebtedness shall be payable solely from the revenues of the Department and such other funds as may be provided by law for such payments. The Commission may provide for credit enhancement as additional security or liquidity for its notes and bonds and enter into such agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to provide for the repayment of any funds advanced by the provider of any such credit enhancement including the payment of any fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The notes and bonds of each issue shall bear interest at fixed or variable rates and shall bear an average interest rate comparable to other revenue notes and bonds of like credit quality and maturity as prescribed by the State Bond Advisor and shall mature at such time or times not exceeding thirty (30) years from the date or dates of issue, as may be determined by the Commission. The notes and bonds may be made redeemable before maturity at the option of the Commission, at such time or times and at such price or prices and pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Commission prior to the issuance of the notes and bonds. The Commission shall determine the form of the notes and bonds and the manner of execution thereof and shall fix the denominations of the notes and bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest. If any officer whose signature or facsimile of whose signature appears on any notes and bonds shall cease to hold the office before the delivery of the notes and bonds, the signature or the facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the person had remained in the office until delivery. All notes and bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this act shall have all the qualities and incidences of negotiable instruments subject to the laws of this state. The Commission may sell the notes and bonds in such amounts and in such manner, either at public or private sale, and for such price, as it may determine to be in the best interests of the state. If the notes and bonds are not sold by competitive bid, the sale must be approved by the State Bond Advisor. B. The Commission may, by resolution, provide for the issuance of notes and bonds for the purpose of refunding notes and bonds then outstanding, including the payment of any redemption premium, any interest accrued to the date of redemption of the notes and bonds, and for incurring additional indebtedness for its lawful purposes. The issuance of such notes and bonds shall be governed by the provisions of this act and the Oklahoma Bond Oversight and Reform Act. C. The Commission shall promulgate rules governing the issuance of revenue bonds authorized pursuant to this act.
