Mississippi § 77-3-127 - Liability on rate reduction bonds issued under a financing order.

§ 77-3-127. Liability on rate reduction bonds issued under a financing order.

Rate reduction bonds issued under a financing order shall not constitute a debt or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of the State of Mississippi or of any county, municipality, or any other political subdivision of this state. The issuing entity, assignee, bondholders and financing parties shall have no right to have taxes levied by this state or the taxing authority of any county, municipality, or any other political subdivision of this state for the payment of the principal of, interest on or other financing costs related to rate reduction bonds. The issuance of rate reduction bonds does not, directly, indirectly, or contingently, obligate this state or any county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision of this state to levy any tax or make any appropriation for payment of the principal of, interest on or other financing costs related to the rate reduction bonds. The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, any issuing entity, and any other party under a financing order that the state will not take or permit any action that impairs the value of the security property under the financing order or, except as allowed under Section 77-3-119, reduce, alter or impair rate reduction bond charges that are imposed, charged, collected or remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee, and any issuing entity, until all principal, interest and redemption premium in respect of rate reduction bonds, all financing costs, all issuing costs and all amounts to be paid to an issuing entity are paid or performed in full. Any attempt by resolution, bill, motion, order, referendum, amendment, judgment, decision, opinion or other act made contrary to the above pledge by the legislative branch, executive branch, judicial branch, commission or citizenry which impairs or attempts to impair the security property shall require just compensation to the security property owner or owners prior to taking effect. An issuing entity may include the pledge specified in subsection (2) of this section in the rate reduction bonds, financing documents, and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the rate reduction bonds.
