        12A.4  GENERAL POWERS.
         1.  An issuer may issue bonds under this chapter and do all things
      necessary with respect to the issuance of the bonds.  An issuer shall
      have all of the powers necessary to issue and secure bonds and carry
      out the purposes for which the bonds are to be issued, including the
      power to secure credit enhancement or support and to enter into
      agreements providing interest rate protection, as deemed appropriate
      by the issuer.  The issuer may issue bonds in principal amounts
      consistent with the enabling legislation and which the issuer
      determines are necessary to provide sufficient funds for the purposes
      for which the bonds are issued, and to provide for the payment of
      capitalized interest on the bonds, the establishment of reserves to
      secure the bonds, the payment of the costs of issuance of the bonds,
      the payment of other expenditures of the issuer incident to and
      necessary or convenient to carry out the issue, and the payment of
      all other expenditures necessary or convenient to carry out the
      purposes for which the bonds are issued.
         2.  The proceeds of bonds issued by the issuer and not required
      for immediate disbursement may be deposited with a trustee or
      depository or the treasurer of state as provided in the authorizing
      documents.  Proceeds shall be invested or reinvested as directed by
      the treasurer of state and specified in the authorizing documents
      without regard to any limitation otherwise provided by law.
         3.  Bonds shall be issued as follows:
         a.  In a form, issued in denominations, executed in a manner,
      and payable over terms and with rights of redemption, and subject to
      such other terms and conditions as prescribed in the authorizing
      documents.
         b.  Sold at prices, at public or private sale, and in a
      manner, as prescribed by the issuer.  Chapters 73A, 74, 74A, 75, and
      76 do not apply to the sale, issuance, or retirement of the bonds if
      this chapter is utilized.
         c.  Subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants providing
      for the payment of the principal, redemption premiums, if any,
      interest, and other terms, conditions, covenants, and protective
      provisions safeguarding payment, not inconsistent with this chapter
      and as determined by the authorizing documents.
         4.  Bonds issued under this chapter are investment securities and
      negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for purposes of the
      uniform commercial code, chapter 554.  Bonds are securities in which
      public officers and bodies of this state; political subdivisions of
      this state; insurance companies and associations and other persons
      carrying on an insurance business; banks, trust companies, savings
      associations, savings and loan associations, and investment
      companies; administrators, guardians, executors, trustees, and other
      fiduciaries; and other persons authorized to invest in bonds of the
      state, may properly and legally invest funds, including capital, in
      their control or belonging to them.
         5.  Bonds must be authorized by the authorizing documents.  The
      authorizing documents may, however, delegate to an officer of a board
      or of a governing body of an issuer the power to negotiate and fix
      the details of an issue of bonds.
         6.  A resolution, trust agreement, or any other instrument by
      which a pledge is created shall not be required to be recorded or
      filed under the uniform commercial code, chapter 554, to be valid,
      binding, or effective.
         7.  Subject to the terms of the authorizing documents, the
      proceeds of bonds may be expended for administrative expenses.
         8.  An issuer may issue bonds for the purpose of refunding any
      bonds then outstanding, including the payment of any redemption
      premiums thereon and any interest accrued or to accrue to the date of
      redemption of the outstanding bonds.  Until the proceeds of bonds
      issued for the purpose of refunding outstanding bonds are applied to
      the purchase or retirement of outstanding bonds or the redemption of
      outstanding bonds, the proceeds may be placed in escrow and be
      invested and reinvested in accordance with the provisions of this
      chapter, the authorizing documents, and any applicable escrow
      agreement.  The interest, income, and profits earned or realized on
      an investment may also be applied to the payment of the outstanding
      bonds to be refunded by purchase, retirement, or redemption.  After
      the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied and carried out,
      any balance of proceeds and interest earned or realized on the
      investments shall be returned to the issuer.  All refunding bonds
      shall be issued and secured and subject to the provisions of this
      chapter in the same manner and to the same extent as other bonds
      issued pursuant to this chapter.
