§ 6595 Bond Security Trust Agreements

Key Takeaways

  • •Bonds (like loans for big projects) can be protected by a trust agreement with a bank or trust company.
  • •The agreement can use project money or property as a promise to pay back the bond.
  • •The agreement can include rules to protect people who own the bonds, as long as it's fair and legal.
  • •Banks holding the bond money may need to promise to pay back if something goes wrong.

Example

A city wants to build a new park and borrows money by selling bonds.

The city makes a deal with a bank to hold the park's future ticket sales as a promise to pay back the bond. If the city doesn't pay, the bank can use that money to pay the bond owners.

§ 6595 Bond Security Trust Agreements

Any bonds issued under this article may be secured by a trust agreement between the authority and a corporate trustee or trustees, which may include any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state. (a) The trust agreement or the resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds may pledge or assign the revenues to be received or the proceeds of any contract or contracts and may convey or mortgage the project or projects, or any portion thereof, to be financed out of the proceeds of the bonds. The trust agreement or resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds may contain provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including provisions specifically authorized to be included in any resolution or resolutions of the authority authorizing bonds. (b) Any bank or trust company doing business under the laws of the state which may act as a depository of the proceeds of bonds or of revenues or other moneys shall furnish indemnifying bonds or pledge securities when required by the authority. (c) The trust agreement may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee or trustees, and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders. In addition, any trust agreement or resolution may contain other provisions the authority determines to be reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders.
