(a) Bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, are hereby determined to be issued for valid public purposes in exercise of essential governmental functions. Such bonds and bond anticipation notes shall be special obligations of the state and shall not be payable from or charged upon any funds other than the pledged revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor as provided in sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and sections 15-14 and 16-299, nor shall the state or any political subdivision thereof be subject to any liability thereon, except to the extent of such pledged revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor as provided in said sections. As part of the contract of the state with the owners of said bonds and bond anticipation notes, all amounts necessary for punctual payment of the debt service requirements with respect to such bonds and bond anticipation notes shall be deemed to be appropriated, but only from the sources pledged pursuant to said sections, upon the authorization of issuance of such bonds and bond anticipation notes by the State Bond Commission, or the filing of a certificate of determination by the Treasurer in accordance with subsection (c) of this section, and the Treasurer shall pay such principal and interest as the same shall accrue, but only from such sources. The issuance of bonds or bond anticipation notes issued under sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, shall not directly or indirectly or contingently obligate the state or any political subdivision thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor, except for taxes included in the pledged revenues, or to make any additional appropriation for their payment. Such bonds and bond anticipation notes shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the state or of any political subdivision thereof other than the pledged revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor as provided in sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and section 15-14, and the substance of such limitation shall be plainly stated on the face of each such bond and bond anticipation note. Bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, shall not be subject to any statutory limitation on the indebtedness of the state, and, when issued, shall not be included in computing the aggregate indebtedness of the state in respect to and to the extent of any such limitation.

(b) Bonds issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, may be executed and delivered at such time or times and shall be dated, bear interest at such rate or rates, including variable rates to be determined in such manner as set forth in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the bonds, provide for payment of interest on such dates, whether before or at maturity, be issued at, above or below par, mature at such time or times not exceeding thirty years from their date, have such rank or priority, be payable in such medium of payment, be issued in such form, including without limitation registered or book-entry form, carry such registration and transfer privileges and be made subject to purchase or redemption before maturity at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions, including the condition that such bonds be subject to purchase or redemption on the demand of the owner thereof, all as may be provided by the State Bond Commission. The State Bond Commission shall determine the form of the bonds, the manner of execution of the bonds, the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the manner of payment of principal and interest. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the State Bond Commission may, under like restrictions, authorize the issuance of interim receipts or temporary bonds, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such bonds have been executed and are available for delivery. If any of the officers whose signatures appear on the bonds cease to be officers before the delivery of any such bonds, such signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officers had remained in office until delivery. Nothing herein shall prevent any series of bonds issued under sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and sections 15-14 and 16-299 from being issued in coupon form, in which case references to the bonds herein also shall refer to the coupons attached thereto where appropriate, and references to owners of bonds shall include holders of such bonds where appropriate.
(c) Any bonds issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, may be sold at public sale on sealed proposals or by negotiation in such manner, at such price or prices, at such time or times and on such other terms and conditions of such bonds and the issuance and sale thereof as the State Bond Commission may determine to be in the best interests of the state, or the State Bond Commission may delegate to the Treasurer all or any part of the foregoing powers in which event the Treasurer shall exercise such powers unless the State Bond Commission, by adoption of a resolution prior to the exercise of such powers by the Treasurer, shall elect to reassume the same. Such powers shall be exercised from time to time in such manner as the Treasurer shall determine to be in the best interests of the state and he shall file a certificate of determination setting forth the details thereof with the secretary of the State Bond Commission on or before the date of delivery of such bonds, the details of which were determined by him in accordance with such delegation.
(d) The debt service requirements with respect to any bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, shall be secured by (1) a first call upon the pledged revenues as they are received by the state and credited to the Special Transportation Fund established under section 13b-68, and (2) a lien upon any and all amounts held to the credit of said Special Transportation Fund from time to time, provided said lien shall not extend to amounts held to the credit of such Special Transportation Fund which represent (A) amounts borrowed by the Treasurer in anticipation of state revenues pursuant to section 3-16, or (B) transportation-related federal revenues of the state. Any obligation of the state secured by said lien to pay the unrefunded principal of bond anticipation notes, including for this purpose any obligation of the state under a reimbursement agreement entered into in connection with a credit facility providing for payment of the unrefunded principal of bond anticipation notes, shall be subordinate to any obligation of the state secured by said lien to pay (i) the debt service requirements with respect to bonds, or (ii) any debt service requirements with respect to bond anticipation notes other than debt service requirements relating to unrefunded principal of bond anticipation notes or to obligations under a credit facility for the payment of such unrefunded principal. The debt service requirements with respect to bonds and bond anticipation notes also may be secured by a pledge of reserves, sinking funds and any other funds and accounts, including proceeds from investment of any of the foregoing, established pursuant to sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and sections 15-14 and 16-299 or the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds, and by moneys paid under a credit facility, including, but not limited to, a letter of credit or policy of bond insurance, issued by a financial institution pursuant to an agreement authorized by such proceedings.

(6) covenants for the establishment of pledged revenue coverage requirements for the bonds and bond anticipation notes, provided that no such covenant shall obligate the state to provide coverage in any year with respect to any bonds or bond anticipation notes in excess of four times the aggregate debt service on bonds and bond anticipation notes, as described in subparagraph (A) of subdivision (3) of section 13b-75, during such year;

and (10) provisions or covenants of like or different character from the foregoing which are consistent with sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and sections 15-14 and 16-299 and which the State Bond Commission determines in such proceedings are necessary, convenient or desirable in order to better secure the bonds or bond anticipation notes, or will tend to make the bonds or bond anticipation notes more marketable, and which are in the best interests of the state. Any provision which may be included in proceedings authorizing the issuance of bonds hereunder may be included in an indenture of trust duly approved in accordance with subsection (g) of this section which secures the bonds and any notes issued in anticipation thereof, and in such case the provisions of such indenture shall be deemed to be a part of such proceedings as though they were expressly included therein.
(f) Any pledge made by the state shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made, and any revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys so pledged and thereafter received by the state shall be subject immediately to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act. The lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the state, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
(g) In the discretion of the State Bond Commission, bonds issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, including for this purpose any bond anticipation notes, may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the state and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state. Such trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondowners and noteowners as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the state in relation to the exercise of its powers pursuant to sections 3-21a, 3-27a, 3-27f, 12-458 and 12-458d, subsection (c) of section 13a-80a, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, subsection (f) of section 13b-42, sections 13b-59, 13b-61, 13b-69, 13b-71, 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and 13b-80, subsection (a) of section 13b-97, subsection (a) of section 14-12, except for subdivision (2) of said subsection (a), sections 14-15, 14-16a and 14-21c, subsection (a) of section 14-25a, section 14-28, subsection (b) of section 14-35, subsection (a) of section 14-41, section 14-41a, subsection (a) of section 14-44, sections 14-47, 14-48b, 14-49 and 14-50, subsection (a) of section 14-50a, sections 14-52 and 14-58, subsection (c) of section 14-66, subsection (e) of section 14-67, sections 14-67a, 14-67d, 14-67l and 14-69, subsection (e) of section 14-73, subsection (c) of section 14-96q, sections 14-103a and 14-160, subsection (a) of section 14-164a, subsection (a) of section 14-192, sections 14-319, 14-320 and 14-381, subsection (b) of section 14-382 and sections 15-14 and 16-299 and the custody, safeguarding and application of all moneys. The state may provide by such trust indenture for the payment of the pledged revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys to the trustee under such trust indenture or to any other depository, and for the method of disbursement thereof, with such safeguards and restrictions as it may determine. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as transportation costs, as defined in section 13b-75.
(h) The Treasurer shall have power to purchase bonds and bond anticipation notes of the state issued pursuant to this section out of any funds available therefor. The Treasurer may hold, pledge, cancel or resell such bonds and bond anticipation notes subject to and in accordance with agreements with bondowners or noteowners.
(i) Whether or not the bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code, such bonds and bond anticipation notes are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, subject only to the provisions of such bonds and bond anticipation notes for registration.
(j) The proceeds of bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, may be used to pay only transportation costs. Costs incurred relating to any of the purposes for which special tax obligation bonds may be issued pursuant to subsection (b) of section 13b-74 shall be deemed transportation costs. Nothing in this subsection shall limit the issuance of refunding bonds pursuant to subsection (l) of this section.
(k) Any moneys held by the Treasurer or by a trustee pursuant to a trust indenture with respect to bonds and bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, including pledged revenues, other pledged receipts, funds or moneys and proceeds from the sale of such bonds and bond anticipation notes, may, pending the use or application of the proceeds thereof for an authorized purpose, be (1) invested and reinvested in such obligations, securities and investments as are set forth in subsection (f) of section 3-20 and in participation certificates in the Short Term Investment Fund created under section 3-27a, or (2) deposited or redeposited in such bank or banks as shall be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds, the certificate of determination authorizing issuance of such bond anticipation notes or in the indenture securing such bonds or bond anticipation notes. Proceeds from investments authorized by this subparagraph, less amounts required under the proceedings authorizing the issuance of bonds for the payment of transportation costs relating to such bonds, shall be credited to the Special Transportation Fund created under section 13b-68.
(l) Any bonds issued under the provisions of sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, and any general obligation bonds of the state issued for transportation purposes, as defined in subsection (c) of section 13b-69, and at any time outstanding may, at any time and from time to time, be refunded by the state by the issuance of its refunding bonds in such amounts as the State Bond Commission may deem necessary, but not to exceed an amount sufficient to refund the principal of the bonds to be so refunded, to pay any unpaid interest on such bonds and any premiums and commissions necessary to be paid in connection with such bonds and to pay costs and expenses which the Treasurer may deem necessary or advantageous in connection with the authorization, sale and issuance of refunding bonds. Any such refunding may be effected whether the bonds to be refunded shall have matured or shall thereafter mature. All refunding bonds issued under this subsection shall be payable solely from the revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys out of which the bonds to be refunded thereby are payable and shall be subject to and may be secured in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(m) Whenever the issuance of bonds has been authorized pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, the Treasurer may, pending the issuance thereof, and, subject to any applicable terms or provisions of the proceedings authorizing such issuances, issue, in the name of the state, bond anticipation notes and any renewals thereof. Notes evidencing such borrowings shall be designated “Bond Anticipation Notes” and shall be signed by the Treasurer or his deputy. The principal of and interest on any bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to this subsection may be repaid from pledged revenues or other pledged receipts, funds or moneys, to the extent not paid from the proceeds of renewals thereof or of the bonds. Upon the sale of the bonds, the proceeds thereof, to the extent required, shall be applied forthwith to the payment of the principal of and interest on any bond anticipation notes or shall be deposited in trust for such purpose. The date or dates of such bond anticipation notes, the maturities, denominations, form, details and other particulars of such bond anticipation notes, including the method, terms and conditions for the issue and sale thereof, shall be determined by the Treasurer in the best interest of the state, and the Treasurer shall file with the secretary of the State Bond Commission on or before the date of delivery of such bond anticipation notes a certificate of determination setting forth the specific details and particulars of each issue of bond anticipation notes, including renewals thereof.
(n) Whenever the state has a written commitment to receive a grant-in-aid or similar form of assistance with respect to a project or program for which the issuance of bonds has been authorized pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, the Treasurer may issue notes in anticipation of the issuance of such a grant-in-aid or other assistance, provided (1) the total amount of such notes shall not exceed the amount of the grant commitment which has not been paid to the state and (2) all grant payments with respect to such project or program received by the state, to the extent required, shall be applied promptly toward repayment of such temporary notes as the same shall become due and payable, or shall be deposited in trust for such purpose. Notes evidencing such borrowings shall be designated “Grant Anticipation Notes” and shall be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Treasurer or his deputy. The principal of and interest on any grant anticipation notes issued pursuant to this subsection may be repaid from the proceeds of renewals thereof, from grants-in-aid or other assistance pledged for the payment thereof, or from the proceeds of a credit facility including but not limited to, a letter of credit or policy of bond insurance. The Treasurer is hereby authorized to enter into reimbursement agreements or similar agreements with respect to such credit facilities, and the state's obligation under any such credit facility shall be included among the debt service requirements for the applicable period. The date or dates of such grant anticipation notes, the maturities, denomination, form, details and other particulars of such grant anticipation notes, including the method, terms and conditions for the issue and sale thereof, shall be determined by the Treasurer in the best interests of the state, and the Treasurer shall file with the secretary of the State Bond Commission on or before the date of delivery of such bond anticipation notes a certificate of determination setting forth the specific details and particulars of each issue of grant anticipation notes, including renewals thereof. This subsection shall not apply if the grant-in-aid or other assistance is to be paid over a period of years to reimburse the state for a portion of principal due on bonds or bond anticipation notes.
(o) The State Bond Commission may make representations and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to ensure the exemption from taxation of interest on bonds or bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive, eligibility of such bonds or bond anticipation notes for tax credits or payments from the federal government, or any other desired federal income tax treatment of such bonds or bond anticipation notes, in each case under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, including agreements to pay rebates to the federal government of investment earnings derived from the investment of the proceeds of bonds or bond anticipation notes, or may delegate to the Treasurer the authority to make such representations and agreements on behalf of the state.
