§ 374-B-12. Section 374-B:12 Revenue Refunding Bonds.

Any municipality having bonds outstanding under this chapter, when authorized by a 3/5 vote as defined in RSA 33:8 for towns and village districts and in RSA 33:9 for cities, may issue refunding bonds for the purpose of paying bonds issued by or on its behalf, at maturity or upon acceleration or redemption, subject to the approval of the commission under RSA 369:1. The refunding bonds may be issued in sufficient amounts to pay or provide the principal of the bonds being refunded, together with any redemption premium thereon, any interest accrued or to accrue to the date of payment of such bonds, the expenses of issue of the refunding bonds, the expenses of redeeming the bonds being refunded, and such reserves for debt service (including a common reserve for debt service established pursuant to an agreement for consolidation of indebtedness under RSA 374-B:2, VI) or other capital or current expenses from the proceeds of such refunding bonds as may be required by a trust agreement or resolution securing bonds or notes. The refunding bonds may be issued not more than 5 years prior to the maturity or redemption date of bonds being refunded. The issue of refunding bonds, the maturities and other details thereof, the security therefor, the rights of the holders thereof, and the rights, duties and obligations of the municipality in respect of the same shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter relating to the issue of bonds other than refunding bonds insofar as the same may be applicable, but no bonds shall be refunded to a date later than the refunded bonds could have matured hereunder.
