A. Territory excluded from an infrastructure development zone pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 [5-17-17 NMSA 1978] of the Infrastructure Development Zone Act shall not be subject to any property tax levied by the board for the operating costs of the infrastructure development zone. For the purpose of retiring the infrastructure development zone's outstanding indebtedness and the interest thereon existing at the effective date of the exclusion order, the infrastructure development zone shall remain intact, and the excluded territory shall be obligated to the same extent as all other property within the infrastructure development zone but only for that proportion of the outstanding indebtedness and the interest thereon existing immediately prior to the effective date of the exclusion order. The board shall levy annually a property tax on all the excluded and remaining property sufficient, together with other funds and revenues of the infrastructure development zone, to pay the outstanding indebtedness and the interest thereon. The board may also establish, maintain, enforce and, from time to time, modify the service charges, tap fees and other rates, fees, tolls and charges, upon residents or users in the area of the infrastructure development zone as it existed prior to the exclusion as may in the discretion of the board be necessary to supplement the proceeds of the tax assessments in the payment of the outstanding indebtedness and the interest thereon. In no event shall excluded territory of an infrastructure development zone become obligated for the payment of any bonded indebtedness created after the date of the court's exclusion order.
B. The change of boundaries of the infrastructure development zone shall not impair nor affect its organization, nor shall it affect, impair or discharge any contract, obligation, lien or charge on which it might be liable or chargeable had the change of boundaries not been made.
