233.20 Issuance of bonds. (1) The authority may issue bonds for any corporate purpose. All bonds are negotiable for all purposes, notwithstanding their payment from a limited source.
(2) The bonds of each issue shall be payable from sources specified in the bond resolution under which the bonds are issued or in a related trust agreement, trust indenture, indenture of mortgage or deed of trust.
(3) The authority may not issue bonds unless the issuance is first authorized by a bond resolution. Bonds shall bear the dates, mature at the times not exceeding 30 years from their dates of issue, bear interest at the rates, be payable at the times, be in the denominations, be in the form, carry the registration and conversion privileges, be executed in the manner, be payable in lawful money of the United States at the places, and be subject to the terms of redemption, that the bond resolution provides.

The bonds may be sold at public or private sale at the price, in the manner and at the time determined by the board. Pending preparation of definitive bonds, the authority may issue interim receipts or certificates that shall be exchanged for the definitive bonds.

233.22 Bonds not public debt. (1) The state is not liable on bonds and the bonds are not a debt of the state. All bonds shall contain a statement to this effect on the face of the bond. A bond issue does not, directly or indirectly or contingently, obligate the state or a political subdivision of the state to levy any tax or make any appropriation for payment of the bonds. Nothing in this section prevents the authority from pledging its full faith and credit to the payment of bonds.
(2) Nothing in this chapter authorizes the authority to create a debt of the state, and all bonds issued by the authority are payable, and shall state that they are payable, solely from the funds pledged for their payment in accordance with the bond resolution authorizing their issuance or in any trust indenture or mortgage or deed of trust executed as security for the bonds. The state is not liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on a bond or for the performance of any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement that may be undertaken by the authority. The breach of any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement undertaken by the authority does not impose pecuniary liability upon the state or a charge upon its general credit or against its taxing power.
233.23 State pledge. The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, and persons that enter into contracts with the authority under this chapter, that the state will not limit or alter the rights vested in the authority by this chapter before the authority has fully met and discharged the bonds, and any interest due on the bonds, and has fully performed its contracts, unless adequate provision is made by law for the protection of the bondholders or those entering into contracts with the authority.

The authority may, pending application, place the proceeds in escrow to be applied to the purchase, retirement at maturity or redemption of any outstanding bond at any time.
233.27 Limit on the amount of outstanding bonds. The authority may not issue bonds or incur indebtedness described under s. 233.03 (12) if, after the bonds are issued or the indebtedness is incurred, the aggregate principal amount of the authority's outstanding bonds, together with all indebtedness described under s. 233.03 (12) would exceed $50,000,000. Bonds issued to fund or refund outstanding bonds, or indebtedness incurred to pay off or purchase outstanding indebtedness, is not included in calculating compliance with the $50,000,000 limit.
