Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The authority may enter into a
trust agreement or trust indenture between the authority and one
or more corporate trustees for any bonds issued under this chapter. Any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company may be a trustee.
(2) The bond resolution providing for the issuance of bonds
shall pledge the assessments to be received by the authority with
respect to the bonds referred to in the bond resolution. The
pledge is valid and binding from the time that the resolution is
adopted. The revenues pledged are immediately subject to the
lien of the pledge without any physical delivery or any further act.
The lien is valid and binding as against all persons having claims
in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, irrespective of
whether the persons have notice of the lien. Neither the bond resolution nor any financing statement, continuation statement, or
other instrument by which a pledge is created or by which the authority’s interest in revenues is assigned need be filed or recorded
in any public records in order to perfect the lien of the pledge as
against 3rd parties, except that the authority shall file a copy of
the instrument in the records of the authority and with the department of financial institutions.
(3) A bond resolution may contain provisions for protecting
and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders that are
reasonable and proper and not in violation of law. A bond resolution may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders. A
bond resolution may contain any other provisions that are determined by the board to be reasonable and proper for the security of
the bondholders.
