(a) The bank may issue bonds pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 63070) and may loan the proceeds thereof to the association, and deposit the proceeds into a separate account in the fund, or use the proceeds to refund bonds previously issued under this article. Bond proceeds may also be used to fund necessary reserves, capitalized interest, credit enhancement costs, or costs of issuance.
(b) Bonds issued under this article shall not be deemed to constitute a debt or liability of the state or of any political subdivision thereof, other than the bank, or a pledge of the faith and credit of the state or of any political subdivision, but shall be payable solely from the fund and other revenues and assets securing the bonds. All bonds issued under this article shall contain on the face of the bonds a statement to that effect.
(c) For purposes of this article, the term “project,” as defined in subdivision (p) of Section 63010, shall include financing of the costs of claims of insolvent workers’ compensation insurers, in an amount (together with associated costs of financing) that may be determined by the association in making a request for financing to the bank.
