§ 31-7-119. Holding moneys as trust funds; pledges for payment of bonds

• (a) All moneys received pursuant to the authority of this article, whether as proceeds from the sale of revenue bonds or other obligations, as grants or other contributions, or as revenues and earnings, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided in this Code section. In the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, the authority shall provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds, earnings, and revenues to be received to any officer who, or any agency, bank, or trust company which, shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes of this article, subject to the provisions of this article and the provisions of any such resolution or any trust indenture.

• (b) The authority may pledge for the payment of its bonds such assets, funds, and properties as the resolution providing for the issuance of its bonds may provide. Any such pledge made by the authority shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made; the moneys or properties so pledged and thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind against the authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. No resolution or any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
