A municipality is authorized to enter into a structured lease agreement; provided, that the municipality complies with § 9-21-305(c) regarding guidelines, rules or regulations adopted or promulgated by the state funding board under § 9-21-130, treating the lease as if it were a revenue bond of the municipality and the comptroller determines compliance with the guidelines. However, if the municipality is additionally obligated to make the lease payments from legally available sources, subject to appropriation, other than revenues available under § 7-88-106(b) and revenues derived from the project, then the municipality, seven (7) days before the effective date of the structured lease agreement or the amendment to a lease making it a structured lease agreement, must provide notice generally available within the municipality, disclosing the purpose for the structured lease agreement, the additional sources, whether taxes or revenues, to be used for lease payments, and the maximum liability of the municipality.
Any bonds, notes, or other indebtedness, including any refinancing or refunding, proposed to be issued under this part must be approved by the state funding board.
