The authority may establish profit or not-for-profit corporations as the authority considers necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Officials or employees of the authority may act as officials or employees of any such corporations created pursuant to this section without additional compensation. Any corporations created pursuant to this section are considered to be "public procurement units" for purposes of Article 19, Chapter 35 of Title 11.
The authority may make grants or loans to, or make guarantees for, the benefit of a not-for-profit corporation which the authority has caused to be formed whose articles of incorporation require that its directors be elected by members of the authority and all assets of which, upon dissolution, must be distributed to the authority if it is in existence, or, if it is not in existence, then to this State.
These grants, loans, or guarantees may be made upon a determination by the authority that the receiving not-for-profit corporation is able to carry out the purposes of this chapter and on the terms and conditions imposed by the authority.
A guarantee made by the authority does not create an obligation of the State or its political subdivisions and is not a grant or loan of the credit of the State or a political subdivision. A guarantee issued by the authority must be a special obligation of the authority. Neither this State nor any political subdivision is liable on a guarantee nor may they be payable out of any funds other than those of the authority and a guarantee issued by the authority must contain on its face a statement to that effect.
