30-1009. Transition bonds; irrevocability; public policy; noncompliance

A. On or after the issuance of transition bonds, the transition property, the true-up mechanism and the financing charges are irrevocable, final, nondiscretionary and effective without the need for further action by the governing body or this state, and such financing charges shall not be subject to rescission, alteration, amendment, reduction, impairment or adjustment by further action of this state or any other body, except pursuant to the true-up mechanism.

B. This state, including all agencies, public corporations, municipalities or other instrumentalities of this state, pledges to and agrees with the financing parties, including present and future holders of transition bonds, the public power entity, the qualified special purpose entity and any other persons that enter into an ancillary agreement that after the issuance of transition bonds and until all financing costs, including the principal and interest on the transition bonds and all amounts to be paid under an ancillary agreement, are fully met and discharged, this state or any agency, public corporation, municipality or other instrumentality of this state may not take or allow any action to be taken to limit, reduce, alter, impair, delay or terminate any of the following:

1. The rights conferred by this chapter, including the rights in transition property or transition bonds.

2. The imposition of financing charges and unit financing charges by the qualified special purpose entity.

D. On and after the issuance of the transition bonds, the failure of a public power entity or a qualified special purpose entity to comply with this chapter or the financing resolution does not invalidate, impair or affect the financing resolution, the transition property, financing charges, transition bonds or financing costs.

E. A financing resolution, transition property and financing charges are not affected by either of the following:

1. The bankruptcy, reorganization, sale, dissolution or insolvency of the public power entity or the qualified special purpose entity or the successors or assigns of the public power entity or the qualified special purpose entity.
