A. When a qualified issuer that is or will be impacted by growth at a military installation, proposes to acquire or construct a capital project, the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority may serve as conduit issuer for the capital project in the form of loans, lease-purchase agreements, or other forms of indebtedness.
B. For the capital projects described in subsection A of this section, the Authority may issue bonds to provide funding:
1. To acquire real property, together with improvements thereon;
2. To construct buildings and other improvements to real property;
3. To provide repairs, renovations, and improvements to real property and other fixed assets; and
4. To defease or refund bonds or other obligations of a qualified issuer which were issued to finance a capital project as defined herein; and further, to fund necessary bond reserves and to pay costs of issuance of any obligations issued under this act.
C. The Authority shall not issue bonds for loans, lease-purchase agreements, or other forms of indebtedness for a qualified issuer pursuant to the Military Base Protection and Expansion Incentive Act except upon the certification by the qualified issuer that it has received or will receive an amount sufficient to repay the indebtedness as a result of a voter-approved incentive derived from a tax levy. Further, the qualified issuer shall certify that it will not use the proceeds of general obligation bonds to pay the interest on any lease-purchase obligations.
D. The Authority may hold title to the new real property and improvements and place liens on improved existing real property until such time as any obligations issued for the purpose of the capital project are retired or defeased and may lease the real property and improvements to the qualified issuer. Upon final redemption or defeasance of the obligations created pursuant to this section, title to the real property and improvements thereon shall be transferred from the Authority to the qualified issuer.
E. The Authority may defer principal payments on loans made pursuant to the Military Base Protection and Expansion Incentive Act for a period not to exceed five (5) years.
