Section 8-252a - Issuance of bonds secured by payments and other revenues to be received by the state with respect to loans made by the state under bond-financed housing programs(a) The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority is authorized to issue bonds secured by a pledge of principal and interest payments and other revenues to be received by the state with respect to any loans made by the state under any bond-financed housing program, as defined in section 8-37qq. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the issuance of such bonds shall be governed by the provisions of section 8-252. Such bonds may be guaranteed by the authority, which guarantee may be a general obligation of the authority. Such bonds whether or not a general obligation of the authority may be secured by revenues or other assets of the authority which are not subject to the lien of the general housing mortgage program bond resolution of the authority adopted September 27, 1972, as amended, or subject to a lien created by any other existing bond resolution of the authority. The state, acting through the State Treasurer, is authorized to pledge such principal and interest payments and other revenues, and to make such agreements, covenants and representations as may be required for issuance of the bonds. The provisions of subdivision (2) of section 32-1l shall not apply to any pledge under this section, nor to any transfer of revenues to the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority or to a trustee incident to the issuance of bonds under this section, but such a pledge or transfer of revenues from bond-financed state housing programs, as defined in section 8-37qq, to the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority or to a trustee incident to the issuance of bonds under this section is hereby authorized. Any pledges made pursuant to this section shall be valid and binding from the time such pledge is made, and are not subject to further appropriation by the state. The proceeds of any bonds issued pursuant to this section shall, after payment of all costs of issuance and sale, including, without limitation, the costs of credit facilities and the establishment of any reserves as security for such bonds, be deposited in the General Fund.(b) In the event that the total of principal and interest payments and other revenues pledged to any trustee in accordance with a pledge made pursuant to subsection (a) of this section and received in any fiscal year are less than the total of all interest and principal payments and other revenues on loans under any bond-financed housing program as defined in section 8-37qq by the state in that same fiscal year, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management shall apportion any payments to be transferred to such trustee under such pledge among payments that would otherwise have flowed to the General Fund, the Rental Housing Fund or the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund and may, on behalf of the state, make such agreements, covenants and representations with respect to such apportionment as may be required for issuance of the bonds under this section. In the event that principal and interest payments or other revenues pledged pursuant to subsection (a) of this section are transferred in any fiscal year to any trustee in excess of total debt service payments required in such fiscal year under the terms of any indenture of trust for bonds issued under this section the balance shall be returned to the state. Such returned balance shall be apportioned among the General Fund, the Rental Housing Fund or the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund, as determined by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management provided, any such returned balance shall first be apportioned to the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund, up to the amount which would otherwise have flowed to the Housing Repayment and Revolving Loan Fund in such fiscal year absent such pledge under this section.(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize (1) the use of moneys in any sinking fund which may have been pledged by resolution or trust indenture in connection with the issuance of any general obligation bonds, as to which sinking fund the state did not reserve the right to application and use of such moneys for other purposes, (2) the pledge of moneys, any apportionment of payments or returned balances in subsection (b) of this section that the State Treasurer determines to have been precluded by any covenant or agreement with bondholders on any outstanding general obligation bonds of the state, or (3) the pledge of certain loan payments or revenue if it is determined by the State Treasurer that the tax-exempt status of any outstanding general obligation bonds of the state shall be jeopardized by the pledge of such payments or revenues.Conn.
