(1) Any local agency is authorized to provide by resolution for the issuance of revenue refunding bonds of the local agency for the purpose of refunding any bonds then outstanding which shall have been issued under the provisions of this part, including the payment of any redemption premium thereon and any interest accrued or to accrue to the date of redemption of such bonds, and, if deemed advisable by the local agency for either or both of the following additional purposes:
(a) Constructing improvements, additions, extensions or enlargements of the project or projects in connection with which the bonds to be refunded shall have been issued; and
(b) Paying all or any part of the cost of any additional project or projects.
The issuance of such bonds, the maturities and other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the rights, duties and obligations of the local agency in respect to the same shall be governed by the provisions of this part which relate to the issuance of revenue bonds, insofar as such provisions may be appropriate therefor.

(2) Revenue refunding bonds issued under this section may be sold or exchanged for outstanding bonds issued under this part and, if sold, the proceeds thereof may be applied, in addition to any other authorized purposes, to the purchase, redemption, or payment of such outstanding bonds. Revenue refunding bonds may be issued, in the determination of the local agency, at any time on or prior to the date of maturity or maturities or the date selected for the redemption of the bonds being refunded thereby. Pending the application of the proceeds of such refunding bonds, with any other available funds, to the payment of the principal, accrued interest, and any redemption premium on the bonds being refunded, and, if so provided or permitted in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such refunding bonds or in the trust agreement securing the same, to the payment of any interest on such refunding bonds and any expenses in connection with such refunding, such proceeds may be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States which shall mature, or which shall be subject to redemption by the holder thereof at the option of such holder, not later than the respective dates when the proceeds, together with the interest accruing thereon, will be required for the purposes intended.
