HRS §206E-104

How revenue bonds are paid back and secured

This section explains how the authority pays back revenue bonds using money from reserved housing loan programs. It can promise those revenues to bondholders and secure the bonds with loans or other property. Filing a financing statement makes the promise legally binding and gives bondholders first claim.
