Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The state and a sponsoring municipality are not liable on bonds and the bonds are not
a debt of the state or a sponsoring municipality. All bonds shall
contain a statement to this effect on the face of the bond. A bond
issue does not, directly or indirectly or contingently, obligate the
state or a political subdivision of the state to levy any tax or make
any appropriation for payment of the bonds.
(2) Nothing in this subchapter authorizes a district to create a
debt of the state or a sponsoring municipality, and all bonds issued by a district are payable, and shall state that they are payable,
solely from the funds pledged for their payment in accordance
with the bond resolution authorizing their issuance or in any trust
indenture or mortgage or deed of trust executed as security for the
bonds. The state and a sponsoring municipality are not liable for
the payment of the principal of or interest on a bond or for the
performance of any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement
that may be undertaken by a district. The breach of any pledge,
mortgage, obligation or agreement undertaken by a district does
not impose pecuniary liability upon the state or a sponsoring municipality or a charge upon its general credit or against its taxing
power.
