(a) Limited tax bonds shall be issued pursuant to a resolution adopted at any time, and from time to time, by the district by a two-thirds vote of all members of the board of the district.

(b) The district may, from time to time, issue bonds in accordance with the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 (Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 54300) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), for the purposes set forth in Section 103282, which shall constitute an “enterprise” within the meaning of § 54309 of the Government Code, and the proceeds of the retail transactions and use tax shall constitute “revenues” within the meaning of § 54315 of the Government Code. Article 3 (commencing with Section 54380) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code and the limitations set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 54402 and in Sections 54403 and 54418 of the Government Code do not apply to the issuance and sale of bonds pursuant to this article. Instead, the district shall authorize the issuance of bonds by resolution, which resolution shall specify all of the following:

(1) The purposes for which the bonds are to be issued, which may be general.

(2) The maximum principal amount of the bonds.

(3) The maximum term for the bonds.

(4) The maximum rate of interest to be payable upon the bonds, which shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the district by § 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. In the case of bonds bearing a variable interest rate, the variable rate shall on no day exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the district on that day by § 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. However, the variable interest rate so permitted may on any day exceed that maximum rate if the interest paid on the bonds from their date of original issuance on that day does not exceed the total interest which would have been permitted to have been paid on the bonds if the bonds had borne interest at all times from the date of issuance to that day at the maximum rate permitted from time to time by § 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law.

(5) The maximum discount or premium on the sale of bonds. The bonds may be sold at less or more than the principal amount thereof in the manner and to the extent determined by the district.

(c) For purposes of the issuance and sale of bonds pursuant to this article, the following definitions are applicable to the Revenue Bond Law of 1941:

(1) “Resolution” means, unless the context otherwise requires, the instrument providing the terms and conditions for the issuance of the limited tax bonds, and may be an indenture, resolution, ordinance, order, agreement, or other instrument in writing.

(2) “Fiscal agent” means any fiscal agent, trustee, paying agent, depository, or other fiduciary provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds, which fiscal agent may be located within or without the state.

(d) Each resolution shall provide for the issuance of bonds in the amounts as may be necessary, until the full amount of the bonds authorized has been issued. The full amount of bonds may be divided into two or more series with different dates of payment fixed for the bonds of each series. A bond need not mature on its anniversary date.
