Counties of the state may in the manner
prescribed by law issue revenue bonds for the purpose of acquiring, constructing,
installing and equipping facilities designed for environmental pollution control,
including the acquisition of all technological facilities and equipment necessary or
convenient for pollution control, to be financed for, or to be sold, leased or
otherwise disposed of to, persons, associations, or corporations other than
municipal corporations or other political subdivisions; provided, that such revenue
bonds are issued with the assent of a majority of the qualified electors of the county
voting at an election to be called and held for that purpose; and provided further,
that such revenue bonds shall not be secured by the full faith and credit or the
taxing power of the state or of any political subdivision thereof. No provision of
this constitution, including, but not limited to sections 3 and 4 of article VIII and
section 4 of article XII, shall be construed as a limitation upon the authority granted
under this section. Nothing herein contained shall authorize any county of the state
to operate any industrial or commercial enterprise.
