Authorization to issue and sell revenue bonds

(1)

Oregon Community Power may issue and sell revenue bonds as provided in ORS chapter 287A. However, ORS 287A.150 (Authority of public body to issue revenue bonds) does not apply to revenue bonds issued by Oregon Community Power. Revenue bonds issued by Oregon Community Power are not a general obligation of Oregon Community Power and may not be a charge upon any revenues or property of Oregon Community Power that is not specifically pledged thereto. Any obligation of any kind incurred by Oregon Community Power under this section is not, and may not be considered, an indebtedness of the State of Oregon.

(2)

Revenue bonds or other financing agreements issued by Oregon Community Power under this section are bonds or obligations of a political subdivision of the State of Oregon for the purposes of all laws of this state. [2007 c.807 §39; 2009 c.538 §15]
