The bonds, notes and other obligations, and the interest thereon and the income therefrom, and all fees, charges, funds, revenues, income and other moneys pledged or available to pay or secure the payment of the bonds, notes or other obligations, or interest thereon, shall at all times be exempt from taxation except for transfer, inheritance and estate taxes.
c.With respect to all or any portion of any issue of any bonds, notes or other obligations that the authority may issue in accordance with this act, the authority may covenant, elect and consent that the interest on the bonds be includable under the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in the gross income of the holders of the bonds to the same extent and in the same manner that the interest on bills, bonds, notes or other obligations of the United States is includable in the gross income of the holders under the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or in such other manner as the authority may covenant, elect and consent. Bonds issued pursuant to this act are not subject to any limitations or restrictions of any law that may limit the authority's power to issue those bonds.
