24. a. A municipality that has imposed a tax pursuant to section 20 of P.L.2009, c.90 (C.40:48H-2) may issue bonds to finance eligible purposes listed in subsection b. of section 20 of P.L.2009, c.90 (C.40:48H-2), in accordance with provisions governing the issuance of bonds under the "Local Redevelopment and Housing Law," P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-1 et al.). A resolution authorizing such bonds shall either identify a particular eligible purpose or purposes toward which the bond proceeds shall be applied and the respective amounts allocable to each such eligible purpose, or may provide that such bond proceeds may be applied to all of the eligible purposes described in subsection b. of section 20 of P.L.2009, c.90 (C.40:48H-2). Bond proceeds shall be deposited in the rental tax account as provided in subsection c. of section 20 of P.L.2009, c.90 (C.40:48H-2). Any bond authorization issued under this section shall be subject to the approval of the Local Finance Board. b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection g. of section 37 of P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-37), the bonds issued pursuant to this section shall be issued as non-recourse obligations, and unless otherwise provided for by separate action of the municipality to guarantee such bonds or otherwise provide for a pledge of the municipality's full faith and credit, shall not, except for such action, be considered to be direct and general obligations of the municipality, and, absent such action, the municipality shall not be obligated to levy and collect a property tax sufficient in an amount to pay the principal and interest on the bonds when the same become due and payable. The provisions of the "Local Government Supervision Act (1947)," P.L.1947, c.151 (C.52:27BB-1 et seq.) shall not apply to any bonds issued or authorized pursuant to this section and those bonds shall not be considered gross debt of the municipality on any debt statement filed in accordance with the "Local Bond Law," N.J.S.40A:2-1 et seq., and the provisions of chapter 27 of Title 52 of the Revised Statutes shall not apply to such bonds. c. The expenditure of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds shall not require compliance with public bidding laws, including the "Local Public Contracts Law," P.L.1971, c.198 (C.40A:11-1 et seq.), or any other statute under which an entity other than the municipality, or any other public entity otherwise subject to such law, shall undertake the economic development costs. The use of these funds shall be subject to public accountability and oversight by the municipality. d. In order to provide additional security to bonds issued under this section, the municipality may provide for an extension of the municipality's full faith and credit. To the extent that the municipality provides for a full faith and credit guaranty of any bonds, but determines not to authorize the issuance of bonds or notes to provide the funding source thereof, it may do so by resolution approved by a majority of the full governing body. To the extent that bonds or notes are authorized to fund such guaranty, such bonds or notes shall be authorized pursuant to the provisions of the "Local Bond Law," N.J.S.40A:2-1 et seq., and shall be deductible from the gross debt of the municipality until such time as bonds or notes are actually issued, and only up to the amount actually issued, to fund such guaranty.
