Title 11 - Public Finance
Chapter 37 - South Carolina Resources Authority Act
Section 11-37-170. Capital reserve funds.
(A)(1) The authority may create and establish one or more capital reserve funds and may pay into each capital reserve fund any:
(a) monies appropriated and made available by the State for the purpose of such a fund;
(b) proceeds of the sale of bonds of the authority to the extent provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of, or the trust indenture securing, the bonds; and
(c) other monies which may be made available to the authority for the purpose of such a fund from any other source. All monies held in any capital reserve fund, except as provided in this chapter, must be used solely for the payment, when due, of the principal of, and interest on the bonds secured in whole or in part by such a fund. If monies in any such fund are less than the reserve fund requirement established upon the issuance of any bonds for the fund, the authority may not use the monies for any optional purchase or redemption of bonds until the reserve fund requirement is fully restored. Any income or interest earned on, or increment to, any capital reserve fund due to its investment may be transferred by the authority to its other funds or accounts if it does not reduce the amount in the capital reserve fund below the reserve fund requirement.
(2) The authority may not at any time issue bonds secured in whole or in part by any capital reserve fund, if upon the issuance, the amount in the capital reserve fund is less than the reserve fund requirement unless it, at the time of issuance of the bonds, deposits in the fund an amount which, together with the amount then in the fund, is not less than the fund's reserve fund requirement.
(B) The authority may create and establish other funds as necessary or desirable for its corporate purposes.
(C) Nothing in this section may be construed as limiting the power of the authority to issue bonds not secured by a capital reserve fund.
