N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 583: State and county not liable on bonds or notes

§ 583. State and county not liable on bonds or notes. The bonds,

notes, and other obligations of the authority shall not be a legal or

moral debt of the state, nor a legal debt of the county, and neither the

state nor the county shall be liable thereon, nor shall the same be

payable out of any funds other than those of the authority, unless the

county voluntarily and formally assumes liability therefor. No recent

action by the state in recognizing any legal or moral obligation for any

indebtedness of any other authority shall in any way be construed as

creating any liability for any indebtedness of this authority.
