§ 9-9-207. Issuance of refunding bonds.

The funding board may issue general obligation refunding bonds to refund outstanding obligations previously issued under the authority of this chapter, upon the determination by the board that such bonds are necessary: To accomplish cost savings to the public; For the administrative convenience of the board; To pay or discharge all or any part of an issue or series of bonds, including any interest thereon, in arrears or to become due and for the payment of which sufficient funds are not available; or To eliminate bond covenants that have been determined to be burdensome to the state due to a change in circumstances if such elimination is not otherwise prohibited by law. Such determination shall be clearly stated in any resolution authorizing such refunding bonds and shall be conclusive. The refunding bonds may be issued to pay or provide for the payment of principal, redemption premium, and accrued interest on the bonds to be refunded, and expenses related to the issuance of the refunding bonds, including discount and costs of issuance. Refunding bonds may be sold as determined by the funding board, at public or private sale, in accordance with this chapter. Acts 1937, ch. 165, § 13 (Williams, § 1811.24); modified; impl. am.
