authority as if the authority were a private corporation, except
that its property may not be attached, trusteed or sequestered,
but, if a judgment recovered against the authority is not paid
within 30 days, its personal property may be seized on
execution.

 
§703. Bonds

 
1.__Authorization. The authority may provide by resolution
from time to time for the issuance of bonds for the purpose of
funding the acquisition, financing or protection of works of
art and literature, historic preservation, library
acquisitions, archival protection and the fulfillment of other
undertakings that the authority may assume. The bonds of the
authority do not constitute a debt of the State, or of any
agency or political subdivision thereof, but are payable
solely from the revenue of the authority, and neither the
faith nor credit nor taxing power of the State, or any
political subdivision thereof, is pledged to payment of the
bonds.__Any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding,
all bonds issued pursuant to this chapter are fully
negotiable. If a director whose signature appears on the bonds
or coupons ceases to be a director before the delivery of
those bonds, that signature is valid and sufficient for all
purposes as if that director had remained a director until
delivery.

 
2.__Resolution; prospective issues. The authority may by
resolution authorizing prospective issues provide:

 
A.__The manner of executing the bonds and coupons;

 
B.__The form and denomination of the bonds;

 
C.__Maturity dates;

 
D.__Interest rates on the bonds;

 
E.__For redemption prior to maturity and the premium
payable;

 
F.__The place or places for the payment of interest and
principal;

 
G.__For registration if the authority determines it to be
desirable;

 
H.__For the pledge of any revenue for securing payment;

 
I.__For the replacement of lost, destroyed or mutilated
bonds;
