§698.5. Liability; pledge of sales tax proceeds
A. Bonds issued hereunder shall constitute a borrowing solely upon the credit of the sales tax revenues received or to be received by the governing authority of the issuer and shall not constitute an indebtedness or pledge of the general credit of the issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision relating to the incurring of indebtedness, and the bonds shall contain a recital to that effect. No member of the governing authority or officer of the issuer or any person executing the bonds shall be personally liable on such bonds.
B. Bonds issued hereunder shall be payable solely from and secured by an irrevocable pledge and dedication of such part of the sales tax revenues as may be pledged thereto in the authorizing resolution. Any holder of any of such bonds, or coupons attached thereto, may either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings, enforce and compel performance of all duties required to be performed by the governing authority as a result of issuing the bonds and may similarly enforce the provisions of the ordinance or other enactment of the governing authority imposing the tax and the resolution and proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds.
C. When any bonds shall have been issued hereunder neither the legislature, the governing authority, nor any other authority shall discontinue or decrease the tax or permit to be discontinued or decreased the tax in anticipation of the collection of which such bonds have been issued, or in any way make any change in the allocation and dedication of the proceeds of such tax which would diminish the amount of the sales tax revenues to be received by the issuer until all of such bonds shall have been retired as to principal and interest, and there is hereby vested in the holders from time to time of such bonds and the coupons representing interest thereon a contractual right under the provisions of this Subpart.
