The authority may, in connection with the issuance of its revenue bonds and
notes for the accomplishment of its public purposes pursuant to this chapter,
establish in respect of the revenue bonds and notes reserve funds or
replacement funds required in the sound discretion of the board of the authority
in order to enable the authority to effectuate its proper public purposes, and to
issue revenue bonds and notes in the most advantageous manner. If any
reserve fund or replacement fund created by the authority in connection with
any revenue bond issue or note issue should, in violation of any contract made
by the authority with any bond holder or note holder, be monetarily deficient in
any respect as of any date of accounting stipulated by the authority, the
authority shall immediately make formal request in writing to the secretary of
the Finance and Administration Cabinet, and to the Governor of Kentucky, that
sums adequate to restore the reserve fund or replacement fund to its
contractually required level and to pay any overdue principal and interest on
any outstanding revenue bonds and notes of the authority be included in the
next succeeding executive budget, and that the budget request be presented to
the General Assembly of Kentucky with recommendation for approval by the
General Assembly for payment to the authority for the use and benefit of the
reserve fund or replacement fund.
If the provisions of KRS 56.870(3) are determined to apply to a revenue bond
or note, and if the proceeds of the bond or note are made available to a
governmental agency or private entity, and if the debt is not fully guaranteed by
the United States government or secured by a nationally recognized entity
authorized to issue guarantees and rated in the highest rating category by at
least one (1) of the nationally recognized rating services, the authority shall
obtain approval from the General Assembly in accordance with the provisions
of KRS 56.870(1) prior to the issuance of the bonds or notes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such approval shall be required for the following issues of
bonds or notes:
(a) Refunding bonds or notes which are issued for the purpose of achieving
debt service savings and which do not extend the term of the refunded
bonds;
(b) Bonds or notes if the aggregate principal amount of the bonds or notes
outstanding under any trust indenture or bond resolution does not exceed
the sum of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).
The incremental amount of principal debt incurred by issuing refunding bonds
or notes which are issued for the purpose of achieving debt service savings
and which do not extend the term of the refunded bond or note shall not be
subject to the limits defined in paragraph (b).
