A. In addition to any other authorization provided by law, the

Oklahoma Capitol Improvement Authority is authorized to issue

obligations to provide funding for repairs, refurbishments and

improvements to real and personal property and for funding for

completion of renovation of the Wiley Post Historical Building for

occupancy by the appellate courts with debt retirement payments to

be made as provided herein.

B. The Authority may hold title to the real and personal

property and improvements until such time as any obligations issued

for this purpose are retired or defeased and may lease the real

property and improvements to the state appellate courts. Upon final

redemption or defeasance of the obligations created pursuant to this

section, title to the real and personal property and improvements

shall be transferred from the Oklahoma Capitol Improvement Authority

to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

C. For the purpose of paying the costs for acquisition and

construction of the real property and improvements and personal

property and making the repairs, refurbishments, and improvements to

real and personal property, and providing funding for the project

authorized in subsection A of this section, and for the purpose

authorized in subsection D of this section, the Authority is hereby

authorized to borrow monies on the credit of the income and revenues

to be derived from the leasing of such real and personal property

and improvements, and in anticipation of the collection of such

income and revenues, to issue notes, bonds or other evidences of

obligation in an amount necessary to generate net proceeds of

Thirty-two Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars

($32,650,000.00) after providing for the costs of issuance, credit

enhancement, reserves and other expenses related to the financing.

Net proceeds of the financing will be deposited into a construction

fund to provide for the financing of the project described in

subsection A of this section. Earnings that result from the

investment of the construction fund may be used for the project

authorized in subjection A of this section or for other legal

purposes approved by the Authority, whether issued in one or more

series. It is the intent of the Legislature to appropriate to the

Oklahoma Supreme Court sufficient monies to make rental payments for

the purposes of retiring the obligations created pursuant to this

section. To the extent funds are available from the proceeds of the

borrowing authorized by this subsection, the Oklahoma Capitol

Improvement Authority shall provide for the payment of professional

fees and associated costs related to the projects authorized in

subsection A of this section.

D. The Authority may issue obligations in one or more series

and in conjunction with other issues of the Authority. The

Authority is authorized to hire bond counsel, financial consultants,

and such other professionals as it may deem necessary to provide for

the efficient sale of the obligations and may utilize a portion of

the proceeds of any borrowing to create such reserves as may be

deemed necessary and to pay costs associated with the issuance and

administration of such obligations.

E. The obligations authorized under this section may be sold at

either competitive or negotiated sale, as determined by the

Authority, and in such form and at such prices as may be authorized

by the Authority. The Authority may enter into agreements with such

credit enhancers and liquidity providers as may be determined

necessary to efficiently market the obligations. The obligations

may mature and have such provisions for redemption as shall be

determined by the Authority, but in no event shall the final

maturity of such obligations occur later than thirty (30) years from

credit enhancers and liquidity providers as may be determined

necessary to efficiently market the obligations. The obligations

may mature and have such provisions for redemption as shall be

determined by the Authority, but in no event shall the final

maturity of such obligations occur later than thirty (30) years from

the first principal maturity date.

F. Any interest earnings on funds or accounts created for the

purposes of this section may be utilized as partial payment of the

annual debt service or for the purposes directed by the Authority.

G. The obligations issued under this section, the transfer

thereof and the interest earned on such obligations, including any

profit derived from the sale thereof, shall not be subject to

taxation of any kind by the State of Oklahoma, or by any county,

municipality or political subdivision therein.

H. The Authority may direct the investment of all monies in any

funds or accounts created in connection with the offering of the

obligations authorized under this section. Such investments shall

be made in a manner consistent with the investment guidelines of the

State Treasurer. The Authority may place additional restrictions on

the investment of such monies if necessary to enhance the

marketability of the obligations.

I. Insofar as they are not in conflict with the provisions of

this section, the provisions of Section 151 et seq. of this title

shall apply to this section.
