[§10‑34]  Funding and refunding bonds;
authorization and purpose.  The board may provide for the issuance of
revenue bonds (herein referred to as refunding bonds) for the purpose of
refunding, redeeming, or retiring at or at any time before maturity or at any
time before the first date upon which the outstanding bonds to be refunded may
be called for redemption, any bonds issued under this part, including any bonds
which the holders may consent to be paid or refunded even though the bonds are
not matured or are not callable or redeemable, and for the purpose of funding
indebtedness not evidenced by revenue bonds but which was incurred for purposes
for which revenue bonds may be issued pursuant to this part.  The rate or rates
of interest borne by the refunding bonds shall not be affected or limited by
the rate or rates of interest borne by the bonds to be refunded or the
indebtedness to be funded.  All provisions of this part applicable to the
issuance of revenue bonds shall be complied with in the issuance of refunding
bonds.  Refunding bonds shall be sold as provided in section 10‑25, or
the board may, in its discretion, provide for the exchange of refunding bonds
for a like principal amount of outstanding bonds for the refunding of which the
issuance of such refunding bonds has been authorized, whether or not the
interest rate on the refunding bonds is higher than the interest rate on the
bonds refunded thereby. [L 1994, c 283, pt of §2(2)]
