234.626 Loan funding.

(1) Loans made or authorized to be made under ss. 234.621 to 234.626 may be funded from the proceeds of notes and bonds issued subject to and in accordance with ss. 234.08 to 234.14 and from the fund under s. 234.165.

(2) The authority may create a system of funds and accounts, separate and distinct from all other funds and accounts of the authority, consisting of moneys received from notes and bonds, all revenues received in the repayment of loans made under ss. 234.621 to 234.626, except as provided in sub. (2m), and any other revenues dedicated to it by the authority. The authority may pledge moneys and revenues received or to be received by this system of funds and accounts to secure bonds or notes issued for the program. The authority shall have all other powers necessary and convenient to distribute the proceeds of the bonds, notes and loan repayments in accordance with its powers under this chapter.

(2m) Revenues received in the repayment of loans made under s. 234.165 shall be paid into the fund under s. 234.165.

(3) The authority may enter into agreements with the federal government, its agencies, agencies or political subdivisions of this state or private individuals or entities to insure or in other manner provide additional security for the loans or bonds or notes issued under this section.

(4) The authority may adopt rules that restrict eligibility in addition to the requirements of s. 234.623 or require the provision of additional security if, in the executive director's judgment, the rules or security are required for the satisfactory issuance of bonds or notes.

(5) Bonds or notes issued for loans under this section shall not exceed $10,000,000 in principal amount, excluding obligations issued to refund outstanding bonds or notes.

(6) Unless otherwise expressly provided in resolutions authorizing the issuance of bonds or notes or in other agreements with the holders of bonds or notes, each bond or note issued shall be on a parity with every other bond or note issued for the funding of loans under ss. 234.621 to 234.626.

(7) Recognizing its moral obligation to do so, the legislature expresses its expectation and aspiration that, if ever called to do so, it shall make an appropriation to make the authority whole for defaults on loans issued under ss. 234.621 to 234.626.
