In addition, if notes are issued to refund outstanding notes, the notes to be refunded are not outstanding. Indebtedness shall be repaid at the time the revenues pledged for that purpose are received but not later than the end of the same fiscal year. In addition, a provision for setting aside of undedicated revenues in an amount sufficient to pay principal and interest on the notes shall be made not later than 10 days before the end of the fiscal year.
(2) The state administrative board shall pledge for the repayment of the notes, undedicated revenues of the fiscal year in which the notes are issued and may provide for deposit of any undedicated revenues so pledged in a segregated fund in the state treasury or with a bank or trust company.
(3) A pledge of undedicated revenues shall be valid and binding without recording from the time the pledge is made. Money or property pledged received by the state after the pledge shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery or further act.
(4) The board may authorize and approve insurance contracts, agreements for lines of credit, letters of credit, commitments to purchase notes, and any other transactions to provide security to assure timely payment of any note.
