Item 1

 
The authority may not provide financing from proceeds of revenue
obligation securities issued by the authority for any housing that
is eligible for financing by the Maine State Housing Authority
except with respect to property that the authority has acquired or
may acquire on account or in anticipation of imminent or actual
default under the mortgage insurance program.

 
Sec. 48. 10 MRSA §1044. sub-§9, as amended by PL 1985, c. 714, §31, is
further amended to read:

 
9. Credit not pledged. Except as provided in this subsection,
securities issued under this subchapter shall do not constitute
any debt or liability of the State or of any municipality therein
or any political subdivision thereof, or of the authority or a
pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any such
municipality or political subdivision, but shall be are payable
solely from the revenues of the project or projects for which
they are issued or from other eligible collateral or the revenues
or proceeds of other eligible collateral pledged to the payment
of the revenue obligation securities and all such securities
shall must contain on their face a statement to that effect. The
issuance of securities under this subchapter shall does not
directly or indirectly or contingently obligate the State or any
municipality or political subdivision to levy or to pledge any
form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation
for their payment. Under subchapter II 2, the authority may
insure mortgage loans made with the proceeds of revenue
obligation securities. To these ends, the faith and credit of the
State may be pledged, under and consistent with the terms and
limitations of the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 14-
A or 14-D, and such further limitations, if any, as may be
provided by statute.

 
Sec. 49. 10 MRSA §1048, 3rd ¶, as enacted by PL 1993, c. 741, §2, is
amended to read:

 
If, in connection with any outstanding revenue obligation
securities issued under previous chapter 104, any predecessor to
the authority financed or guaranteed more than 90% of the total
value of a project, the authority, in connection with issuing its
revenue refunding securities, may continue to finance or
guarantee the corresponding percentage of the total value of the
project financed or guaranteed by its predecessor,
notwithstanding section 1026-D 1026-A, subsection 2 1, paragraph
B A, subparagraph (1).
