(1) The state is not liable
on notes or bonds of the authority and the notes and bonds are not
a debt of the state. All notes and bonds of the authority shall contain on the face thereof a statement to this effect. The issuance of
bonds under this chapter shall not, directly or indirectly or contingently, obligate the state or any political subdivision thereof to
levy any form of taxation therefor or to make any appropriation
for their payment. Nothing in this section prevents the authority
from pledging its full faith and credit or the full faith and credit of
a participating health institution, participating educational institution, participating nonprofit institution, or participating research institution to the payment of bonds authorized under this
chapter.
(2) Nothing in this chapter authorizes the authority to create a
debt of the state, and all bonds issued by the authority under this
chapter are payable and shall state that they are payable solely
from the funds pledged for their payment in accordance with the
resolution authorizing their issuance or in any trust indenture or
mortgage or deed of trust executed as security therefor. The state
shall not in any event be liable for the payment of the principal of
or interest on any bonds of the authority or for the performance of
any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement which may be undertaken by the authority. No breach of any such pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement may impose any pecuniary liability
upon the state or any charge upon its general credit or against its
taxing power.
