Bonds may be issued under authority of this chapter or under authority of any other applicable law for the purpose of refunding all or any part of bonds heretofore or hereafter issued by the commission. The refunding bonds may run for not longer than forty years and may bear interest at not to exceed eight percent per annum, but in all other respects shall have such details and the proceedings authorizing the bonds may contain such provisions as may be determined by the commission, including, but without limitation, provisions as to denomination, maturities, places of payment, registration, convertibility into bonds of other denominations, method of sale and delivery, manner of execution, reservation of options to redeem prior to maturity, and covenants for the security and better marketability of the bonds. Any refunding bonds so issued may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded or may be sold in such manner as may be determined by the commission or may be sold in part and exchanged in part. If sold, the proceeds thereof may be applied to the payment of the bonds refunded or, as to such bonds as are not yet maturing or redeemable or voluntarily surrendered by the holders thereof, such proceeds may be deposited in escrow to be held until such time as the bonds to be refunded become available for payment, and during such period of escrow may be invested in direct obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of America, in which case such obligations must mature or be payable in advance of maturity at the option of the holder in such manner and must bear interest at such rates as to provide funds which, together with any uninvested money placed in the escrow, will be sufficient to pay when due or called for redemption the bonds refunded, together with interest thereof accrued and to accrue and redemption premiums, if any, and such refunding bonds proceeds or obligations so purchased therewith which, with other funds legally available to the commission for such purpose, may be deposited in escrow with a banking corporation or association doing business in Louisiana which is a member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor thereof.
There may be included in the refunding bonds so issued bonds in an amount sufficient to pay interest accrued on the bonds refunded, any redemption premiums to be paid thereon, and expenses to be reasonably incurred in connection with the refunding. Such refunding bonds may be made payable from any or all taxes and other revenues which were or could have been pledged to the payment of the bonds refunded.
