Miss. Code § 41-73-47
The commissioners or board of trustees of any hospital owned or operated separately or jointly by one or more counties, cities, towns, supervisors districts or election districts, or combination thereof, organized and existing pursuant to Section 41-13-1 et seq., are hereby authorized to enter into a lease, installment purchase contract, sale agreement or loan agreement with the authority and/or with any participating hospital institution, in connection with the financing, refinancing or receiving reimbursement for all or any part of the cost of hospital equipment or hospital facilities, or in order to sell or borrow against receivables, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, to document any payment obligation or debt thereby acquired by executing one or more notes, bonds or other written evidences of obligation or indebtedness, to secure any such payment obligation or debt by entering into one or more security agreements, indentures or other written pledges of collateral rights or security interests in hospital equipment, hospital facilities or in the revenues of a hospital institution, and to enter into contracts in connection with guarantees and letters of credit issued to secure obligations incurred under such lease, installment purchase contract, sale agreement or loan agreement. Any payments due under such lease, installment purchase contract, sale agreement or loan agreement, and any obligation incurred under such guarantee or letter of credit may be secured by a pledge of the revenues of the participating hospital institution and such pledge, if made, may be on a parity with or subordinate to any present or future indebtedness of the hospital or of the political subdivision or subdivisions which own the participating hospital institution, all as shall be provided in the contract between the authority and the participating hospital. If required to qualify for any program whereby such payments of the participating hospital institution or obligations of the authority backed in whole or in part by such payments will be secured or guaranteed directly or indirectly by the Federal Housing Administration, the Farmers Home Administration or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States Government, the owner or owners of the participating hospital institution may enter into one or more mortgages, deeds of trust or other instruments to grant a security interest in a hospital facility, or any part thereof, or in hospital equipment. No existing indebtedness may be refunded, refinanced or otherwise retired in advance of the due date of such indebtedness pursuant to this section unless such refunding, refinancing or retirement of such indebtedness will result in a net savings to the hospital incurring such indebtedness. Any indebtedness or liability incurred pursuant to this section shall not constitute indebtedness for the purpose of any statutory limitation of indebtedness. Except with regard to refundings or refinancings of existing indebtedness and with regard to obligations subject to unilateral termination by a hospital institution on at least an annual basis, for none of which any such consent shall be required, no payment obligation or debt shall be entered into under authority of this section unless each owner of a hospital institution first has given its written consent to the maximum principal amount of obligation or debt that may be incurred and the maximum time for payment thereof, neither of which maximums may be exceeded.
