(c) The resolution authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds may provide that the bonds be sold and the proceeds deposited where the underlying bonds are payable. If the amount deposited is sufficient to pay the interest and principal on the underlying bonds to their maturity dates, or to their option dates if the bonds have been called for payment before maturity, the authority may issue the refunding bonds before the cancellation of the bonds being refunded, and the comptroller of public accounts shall register the bonds without the surrender and cancellation of the underlying bonds.
