(1)   not general obligations of the county; and   

(2)   collectible only from the county correctional facility gross receipts tax and, if authorized, other properly pledged revenues, and each bond shall be payable solely from the properly pledged revenues and the bondholders shall not look to any other county fund for the payment of the interest and principal of the bonds.
