§ 18.59. Bond anticipation notes.

18.59(1) (1) Whenever the commission has adopted an authorizing resolution for revenue-obligation bonds for any one or more of the purposes described in s. 18.53 (3) , it may, prior to the issuance of the bonds and in anticipation of their sale, adopt an authorizing resolution for revenue-obligation bond anticipation notes. The authorizing resolution shall recite that all conditions precedent to the issuance of revenue-obligation bonds required by law or by the resolution authorizing the bonds have been complied with and that the notes are issued for the purposes for which the bonds were authorized or to renew notes issued for such purposes. The authorizing resolution shall pledge to the payment of the principal of the notes the proceeds of the sale of the bonds. Upon the adoption of the authorizing resolution, the authorizing resolution for the bonds shall be irrevocable until the notes have been paid. 18.59(2) (2) All original revenue-obligation bond anticipation notes shall be named revenue-bond anticipation notes and shall recite on their face that they are payable solely from the proceeds of revenue-obligation bonds to be issued under this subchapter. The aggregate amount of such notes outstanding including interest to accrue shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the bonds in anticipation of the sale of which they are issued. The rate of interest borne by the notes shall not exceed any maximum rate of interest authorized to be borne by the bonds. No lien shall be created or attached with respect to any property of the state as a consequence of the issuance of such notes except as provided in sub. (4) . 18.59(4) (4) Upon the issuance of revenue-obligation bond anticipation notes, there shall be paid into the funds or accounts respectively provided for the payment of the principal and interest of the revenue-obligation bonds in anticipation of the sale of which the notes are issued, from the portion of the income of the enterprise or program allocated to the payment of principal and interest, the same amount at the same times as would have been required to be paid for the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds if the bonds, in an equal principal amount and at the same rate of interest, maturing in annual installments over 50 years, had been issued instead of the notes. Such moneys or any part thereof may, by the authorizing resolution for the notes, be pledged for the payment of the principal and interest of the notes. 18.59(5) (5) All funds derived from the sale of revenue-obligation bonds or renewal notes issued subsequent to the issuance of revenue-obligation bond anticipation notes which the notes were issued in anticipation of the sale shall constitute a trust fund, and the fund shall be expended first for the payment of principal and interest of the notes, and then may be expended for other purposes set forth in the authorizing resolution for the bonds or renewal notes. 18.59(6) (6) The commission may authorize the issuance of renewal revenue-obligation bond anticipation notes to provide funds for the payment of the principal and interest of any such notes then outstanding. All of the provisions of this section shall apply to the renewal notes. 18.59 History History: 1977 c. 29 ; 2001 a. 16 .
