The corporation may enter into, amend or terminate, any derivative instrument that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to place the obligations or investments of the corporation, as represented by the bonds or the investment of their proceeds, in whole or in part, on the interest rate, cash flow or other basis desired by the board, which contract may include without limitation contracts commonly known as interest rate swap agreements, and futures or contracts providing for payments based on levels of, or changes in, interest rates, subject to approval of the State Bond Commission. These contracts or arrangements may be entered into by the corporation, subject to approval of the State Bond Commission and the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget, in connection with, or incidental to, entering into, or maintaining any (i) agreement which secures bonds or (ii) investment or contract providing for investment otherwise authorized by law.
