§999. Refunding bonds
For the purpose of refunding any bonds issued hereunder, the governing body of any municipality may authorize the issuance of refunding bonds in a principal amount not exceeding the sum of the expenses incurred in connection with the refunding and the greater of (1) the principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on the refunded bonds or (2) an amount which together with investment income on such amount, but without further reinvestment, will be sufficient to pay principal of, interest on, and redemption premiums, if any, on the refunded bonds as the same may become due. Refunding bonds may be issued for any public purpose including but not limited to: (1) reducing the total debt service requirement of the issuer; (2) releasing the issuer from provisions of the resolution, ordinance or bond indenture authorizing the issuance of the refunded bonds; and (3) extending and/or unifying the whole or any part of the issuer's outstanding debt. The refunding bonds may be issued alone or combined with additional bonds issued hereunder into a single issue. The refunding bonds may be issued in an additional principal amount for the purpose of paying all or any part of the interest to accrue on the refunding bonds to the maturity or earlier redemption date of the refunded bonds. The refunding bonds may either be sold and the proceeds applied to or deposited in escrow for the retirement of the outstanding bonds, or may be delivered in exchange for the outstanding bonds. The refunding bonds shall be authorized in all respects as original bonds are herein required to be authorized and sold at private sale after advertisement in the manner provided by this Part. The governing body, in authorizing the refunding bonds, shall provide for the security, the sources from which the bonds are to be paid and for the rights of the holders thereof in all respects as herein provided for other bonds issued under the authority of this Part. The governing body may also provide that the refunding bonds shall have the same priority of lien on the revenues pledged for their payment as was enjoyed by the bonds refunded.
