Code of Alabama - Title 41: State Government - Section 41-10-462 - Bonds of authority

Section 41-10-462 - Bonds of authority.

Any bonds of the authority may be executed and delivered by it at any time and from time to time, shall be in such form and denominations and of such tenor and maturities, shall bear such rate or rates of interest, payable and evidenced in such manner, may contain provisions for redemption prior to maturity, and may contain other provisions not inconsistent herewith, all as may be provided by the resolution of the board of directors whereunder such bonds are authorized to be issued; provided, that no bond of the authority shall have a specified maturity date later than 30 years after its date. Each bond of the authority having a specified maturity date more than 10 years after its date shall be made subject to redemption at the option of the authority at the end of the 10th year after its date, and on any interest payment date thereafter, under such terms and conditions and at such premiums, if any, as may be provided in the resolution under which such bond is authorized to be issued. The authority may pay out of the proceeds of the sale of its bonds all expenses, including fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, fiscal agents, financial advisors and other consultants, fees and disbursements of trustees, escrow agents, registrars, paying agents, transfer agents, depositories for safekeeping, authenticating agents, agents for the delivery and payment of bonds, fees and commissions of bond insurers and credit enhancers, printing costs and other customary bond issuance expenses. Bonds issued by the authority shall not be general obligations of the authority but shall be payable solely out of the funds referred to in Section 41-10-471. In the event the authority shall make more than one pledge of the same revenues, such pledges shall take precedence in the order of the adoption of the resolutions in which the pledges are made; provided, that each pledge for the benefit of refunding bonds shall have the same priority as the pledge for the benefit of the bonds refunded thereby. Neither a public hearing nor consent of the state Department of Finance or any other department or agency of the state shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of bonds by the authority.
