157.625 Issuance of bonds. (1) Bonds of the commission shall be issued in the name of the commission, shall be designated "school building revenue bonds" or, if appropriate, "school building revenue refunding bonds," and shall additionally be identified by the name of the board of education executing the lease. If the commission shall issue more than one (1) series of bonds for the same lessee from time to time, each series, including the first or subsequent to the first, shall additionally be identified distinctly by alphabetical or chronological designation, by date of the bonds, or otherwise as the commission may determine. (2) For the purpose of determining any limit prescribed by any law for investment of any public funds, or funds of banks, trust companies, insurance companies, building and loan associations, credit unions, pension and retirement funds, and fiduciaries, in obligations of a single obligor, bonds issued by the commission pursuant to KRS 157.615 to 157.640 shall not be deemed to be bonds or obligations of the same obligor except to the aggregate of all series of bonds involving leases of a single board of education. (3) Bonds issued by the commission under the provisions of KRS 157.615 to 157.640 are hereby made securities in which all public officers and public bodies of the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions, all insurance companies, trust companies, banking associations, investment companies, executors, trustees, and other fiduciaries, and all other persons whatsoever who are now or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or other obligations of a similar nature may properly and legally invest funds, including capital in their control or belonging to them. The bonds are hereby made securities which may properly and legally be deposited with and received by any state or municipal officer or any agency or political subdivision of the Commonwealth for any purpose for which the deposit of bonds or other obligations of the Commonwealth is now or may hereafter be authorized by law. (4) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit a board of education from electing to issue bonds on the local level through a city, county, or other agency and instrumentality of the board of education, and in such event the commission may enter into a participation agreement with the board of education implementing the commission's participation in the financing plan represented by the bonds. In the event of the issuance of bonds on the local level, the board of education may pledge and assign the commission's participation to the issuer to secure the bonds, and may contract with the issuer to permit the collection by the commission or the issuer of rentals due from the board of education under the lease in the event of a failure by the board of education to make the payments in a timely manner.
