Insurance And Guarantee Program

75-6-232. Insurance and guarantee program. (1) The revolving fund may be used to purchase insurance for or guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on a debt obligation issued by a municipality if the department of natural resources and conservation determines that the guarantee or insurance would improve the credit market access of the municipality or reduce the interest rate on the municipal obligation.

(2) The department of natural resources and conservation shall adopt rules setting forth the conditions under which the program will guarantee or insure municipal obligations, including the amount of fees to be charged for the guarantee or the purchase of insurance and the amount of reserves, if any, to be established in the fund to cover any guarantee. The program may not be used to guarantee a municipal obligation for a project or municipality not meeting the requirements of 75-6-224, except to the extent that they are inconsistent with the guarantee.
