18.58(4)(4) Substantive covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, the state department or agency head carrying out program responsibilities for which a revenue obligation has been authorized by the legislature shall have the authority to formulate covenants respecting the operation of the related enterprise or program. The department or agency head shall consult with the commission with respect to the effect of any proposed covenants on the sale of the proposed revenue obligation. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to expand the powers of any state department or agency.

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.

18.60(1)(1) The commission may authorize, for any one or more of the purposes described in s. 18.53 (1), the issuance of revenue-obligation refunding obligations. Refunding obligations may be issued, subject to any contract rights vested in owners of obligations or notes being refinanced, to refinance more than one issue of obligations or notes notwithstanding that the obligations or notes may have been issued at different times for different purposes and may be secured by the property or income of more than one enterprise or program or special fund or may be public debt or building-corporation indebtedness. The principal amount of refunding obligations shall not exceed the sum of: the principal amount of the obligations or notes being refinanced; applicable redemption premiums; unpaid interest on the obligations or notes to the date of delivery or exchange of the refunding obligations; in the event the proceeds are to be deposited in trust as provided in sub. (3), interest to accrue on the obligations or notes from the date of delivery to the date of maturity or to the redemption date selected by the commission, whichever is earlier; and the expenses incurred in the issuance of the refunding obligations and the payment of the obligations or notes. A determination by the commission that a refinancing is advantageous or that any of the amounts provided in the preceding sentence should be included in the refinancing shall be conclusive.

18.60(2)(2) If the commission determines to exchange refunding obligations, they may be exchanged privately for and in payment and discharge of any of the outstanding obligations or notes being refinanced. Refunding obligations may be exchanged for such principal amount of the obligations or notes being exchanged therefore as may be determined by the commission to be necessary or advisable. The owners of the obligations or notes being refunded who elect to exchange need not pay accrued interest on the refunding obligations if and to the extent that interest is accrued and unpaid on the obligations or notes being refunded and to be surrendered. If any of the obligations or notes to be refinanced are to be called for redemption, the commission shall determine which redemption dates shall be used, if more than one date is applicable and shall, prior to the issuance of the refunding obligations, provide for notice of redemption to be given in the manner and at the times required by the proceedings authorizing the outstanding obligations or notes.

18.60(3)(3) The principal proceeds from the sale of any refunding obligations shall be applied either to the immediate payment and retirement of the obligations or notes being refinanced or, if the obligations or notes have not matured and are not presently redeemable, to the creation of a trust for and shall be pledged to the payment of the obligations or notes being refinanced. If a trust is created, a separate deposit shall be made for each issue of obligations or notes being refinanced. Each deposit shall be with the secretary of administration or a bank or trust company that is then a member of the federal deposit insurance corporation. If the total amount of any deposit, including money other than sale proceeds but legally available for such purpose, is less than the principal amount of the obligations or notes being refinanced and for the payment of which the deposit has been created and pledged, together with applicable redemption premiums and interest accrued and to accrue to maturity or to the date of redemption, then the application of the sale proceeds shall be legally sufficient only if the money deposited is invested in securities issued by the United States or one of its agencies, or securities fully guaranteed by the United States, and only if the principal amount of the securities at maturity and the income therefrom to maturity will be sufficient and available, without the need for any further investment or reinvestment, to pay at maturity or upon redemption the principal amount of the obligations or notes being refinanced together with applicable redemption premiums and interest accrued and to accrue to maturity or to the date of redemption. The income from the principal proceeds of the securities shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal of and interest and redemption premiums on the obligations or notes being refinanced, but provision may be made for the pledging and disposition of any surplus. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a limitation on the duration of any deposit in trust for the retirement of obligations or notes being refinanced, but which have not matured and which are not presently redeemable. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit reinvestment of the income of a trust if the reinvestments will mature at such times that sufficient cash will be available to pay interest, applicable premiums, and principal on the obligations or notes being refinanced.

18.60(4)(4) The commission may in addition to the other powers conferred by this subchapter, include a provision in any authorizing resolution for refunding obligations pledging all or any part of the special fund or income of any enterprise or program originally financed from the proceeds of any of the obligations or notes being refinanced, or pledging all or any part of the surplus income derived from the investment of any trust created under sub. (3), or both.

18.60(5)(5) All of the following provisions that are not inconsistent with the express provisions of this section shall apply to refunding obligations, except that the maximum permissible term shall be 50 years from the date of original issue of the oldest note or obligation issue being refunded:

18.61(1)(1) The state shall not be generally liable on revenue obligations and revenue obligations shall not be a debt of the state for any purpose whatsoever. All evidences of revenue obligation shall contain on their face a statement to that effect.

18.61(2)(2) The state pledges and agrees with the owners of revenue obligations that the state will not limit or alter its powers to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the owners or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the owners until the revenue obligations, together with interest including interest on any unpaid installments of interest, and all costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the owners, are fully met and discharged. The commission may include this pledge and agreement of the state in any agreement with the owners of revenue obligation.

18.61(3)(a)(a) If the state fails to pay any revenue obligation in accordance with its terms, and default continues for a period of 30 days or if the state fails or refuses to comply with this subchapter or defaults in any agreement made with the owners of any issue of revenue obligations, the owners of 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the revenue obligations of the issue then outstanding, by instrument recorded in the office of the register of deeds of Dane County and approved or acknowledged in the same manner as a deed to be recorded, may appoint a trustee to represent the owners of the revenue obligations for the purposes specifically provided in the instrument.
