capitalized interest, capitalized operating expenses and
debt service reserves, fees, and cost of any ancillary
obligation and other fees, expenses and costs related to

2.__Declaration of purpose.__It is declared to be in the
public interest and to be the policy of the State to authorize
the bank to issue pension cost reduction bonds.

 
3.__Declaration of necessity.__It is declared that credit and
municipal bond market conditions may require the exercise of
state powers by authorizing, but not requiring, a state
instrumentality to issue its bonds to finance all or a portion of
the costs of pension cost reduction under this subchapter.

 
4.__Lending and borrowing powers.__The bank may assist the
State by borrowing money to finance or refinance from time to
time all or a portion of the costs of the pension obligation and
make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the State as set
out in this subchapter.__The principal of and interest on any
pension cost reduction bonds issued by the bank and any ancillary
obligation must be secured by the debt service fund and capital
reserve fund established pursuant to subsection 6 in accordance
with and as may be determined by resolution of the bank.__Bonds,
ancillary obligations or other forms of debt or liability entered
into or issued by the bank under this section are not in any way

the credit of the State or create any debt or debts, liability or
liabilities on behalf of the State or constitute a pledge of the
faith and credit of the State.__Each bond, ancillary obligation
or other evidence of debt or liability entered into by the bank
must contain a statement to the effect that the bank is obligated
to pay the principal, interest, redemption premium, if any, and
other amounts payable solely from the sources pledged for that
purpose by the bank, and that neither the faith and credit nor
the taxing power of the State is pledged to the payment of the
principal, interest, premium, charge, fee or other amount on the
bond, ancillary obligation or other form of indebtedness, as the
case may be.
