(2) the Indiana finance authority should be authorized to solicit, evaluate, negotiate, and administer agreements with the private sector for the purposes described in subdivision (1);
(3) it is necessary to serve the public interest and to provide for the public welfare by adopting this article for the purposes described in this article;
(4) public-private agreements entered into by private entities and the Indiana finance authority under this article should allow for:
(A) transparency, oversight, and public information sharing;
