Sec. 16.
(1) All moneys of the state authority, except as otherwise authorized or provided in this section, shall be paid to the state treasurer, as agent of the state authority, who shall not commingle such moneys with any other moneys. The moneys shall be deposited in a separate bank account or accounts. The moneys in such accounts shall be paid out by the state treasurer on requisition of the chairman of the state authority or of such other officer or employee as the state authority shall authorize. If required by the state treasurer or the state authority, all deposits of such moneys shall be secured by obligations of the United States or of the state of a market value equal at all times to the amount of the deposit and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the state authority, subject to the approval of the state treasurer, may contract with the holders of any of its notes or bonds as to the custody, collection, securing, investment and payment of any moneys of the state authority and any moneys held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds. Moneys held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds or in any way to secure notes or bonds and deposits of such moneys may be secured in the same manner as moneys of the state authority and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits.
(3) Subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders and the approval of the auditor general, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts for the state authority.
