(1) No number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular bond upon which it is imprinted; and
(2) No liability shall attach to the State or any officer or agent thereof, including any fiscal agent, paying agent, or registrar for the bonds, by reason of the numbers or any use made thereof, including any use made by the State or any officer or agent thereof, or by reason of any inaccuracy, error, or omission.
The director of finance, in the director of finance's discretion, may require that all cost of obtaining and imprinting CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the purchaser of the bonds.
