Section 66-C. Certificates of participation not debt  


Latest version.
  • Certificates of
      participation or similar instruments issued pursuant to this article and
      the underlying installment purchase or lease purchase contracts  do  not
      constitute  or  create  debt of the state as defined in article seven of
      the state constitution, nor a contractual obligation in  excess  of  the
      amounts  appropriated therefor, and the state has no continuing legal or
      moral obligation  to  appropriate  money  for  said  payments  or  other
      obligations due under the installment purchase contracts. In the case of
      the failure to appropriate, the sole security for any remaining periodic
      payments  shall  be  the property subject to the installment purchase or
      lease purchase contract, and debt service reserve funds in  the  custody
      of  the  trustee  or  any  other  remaining  proceeds,  subject  to  the
      provisions of section sixty-six-h of this article.
