The State of California pledges to, and agrees with, the holders of any bonds, other indebtedness, or obligations for the financing of the improvements described in the master plan pursuant to Section 3355, and which are issued or executed and delivered by the authority, or the California Exposition and State Fair, that the state will not alter or change the structure of funding of, and deposits to, the authority or to the California Exposition and State Fair pursuant to the provisions of Article 9.2 (commencing with Section 19605) of Chapter 4 of Division 8 of the Business and Professions Code, or the pledge of funds for debt service, security, including any coverage factors, and expenses entered into pursuant to this chapter until the bonds, other indebtedness, or obligations are fully paid or discharged or have been fully provided for in accordance with their terms. However, nothing precludes any alteration or change if and when adequate provision has been made by law for the protection from impairment of the contract represented by the bonds, other indebtedness, or obligations, and the right to alter or change is hereby reserved. The authority, and the California Exposition and State Fair, are each authorized to include this pledge and undertaking of the state in their bonds, agreements evidencing other indebtedness, and other indebtedness or obligations for the financing of the improvements described in the master plan pursuant to Section 3355.

The authority shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee at least 90 days prior to authorizing the sale of revenue bonds pursuant to this chapter. The notice shall specify all the terms and conditions of the revenue bonds, including, but not limited to, the total amount of the bonds, the revenue source, and the repayment period. Any bond so issued shall contain on its face a statement to the following effect: “Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of California is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this bond.”
