37-5-204. Authority revenue bonds; security; payments after retirement. (Note: this law is repealed by Laws 2019, ch. 34, § 4. effective 7/1/2020.)

(a) The principal and interest on any bonds issued by the authority shall be secured by a pledge of revenues from the operation of the pipeline financed, or by a first mortgage on the pipeline facilities, or by such guarantees and pledges of the entity owning the pipeline or of the parent corporation owning said entity or by any combination thereof or other security as may be determined by the authority to be reasonable and prudent. Such guarantees and pledges shall be no less favorable to the authority than those granted other lenders of the same class.

(b) The authority may require additional payments, as negotiated, to bondholders to be made either in a lump sum at the time of retirement of the bonds or annually from the time of retirement of the bonds until pipeline use is terminated or may require additional incentives from the owner of the pipeline to prospective bondholders so long as the incentives are not contrary to the Wyoming constitution.

(c) The authority may require such other security for repayment of the bonds as it deems necessary.

(d) Repealed By Laws 2004, Chapter 83, § 2.

(e) Each pledge, agreement, mortgage or other instrument made for the benefit or security of any bonds of the authority is valid and binding from the time when made. The revenues, receipts, monies and assets pledged are immediately subject to the lien of the pledge without delivery or further act. The lien is valid and binding against persons having claims of any kind against the authority whether or not the persons have actual notice of the lien. Neither the resolution nor the indenture or other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded or filed.

37-5-205. Exemptions from taxation. (Note: this law is repealed by Laws 2019, ch. 34, § 4. effective 7/1/2020.)

The exercise of the powers granted by this act constitutes the performance of an essential governmental function. Any bonds issued under this act and the income therefrom, shall be free from taxation of every kind by the state, municipalities and political subdivisions of the state.
