and referred to in section 3770.06 of the Revised Code, may not be 425
pledged or used for the payment of debt service except on 426
obligations referred to in section 151.03 of the Revised Code. The 427
state covenants, and that covenant shall be controlling 428
notwithstanding any other provision of law, that the state and the 429
applicable officers and agencies of the state, including the 430
general assembly, shall, so long as any obligations are 431
outstanding in accordance with their terms, maintain statutory 432
authority for and cause to be levied, collected and applied 433
sufficient pledged excises, taxes, and revenues of the state so 434
that the revenues shall be sufficient in amounts to pay debt 435
service when due, to establish and maintain any reserves and other 436
requirements, and to pay financing costs, including costs of or 437
relating to credit enhancement facilities, all as provided for in 438
the bond proceedings. Those excises, taxes, and revenues are and 439
shall be deemed to be levied and collected, in addition to the 440
purposes otherwise provided for by law, to provide for the payment 441
of debt service and financing costs in accordance with sections 442
151.01 to 151.11 of the Revised Code and the bond proceedings.443

       (N) The general assembly may from time to time repeal or 444
reduce any excise, tax, or other source of revenue pledged to the 445
payment of the debt service pursuant to Section 2k, 2l, 2m, 2n, 446
2o, 2p, 2q, or 15 of Article VIII, Ohio Constitution, and sections 447
151.01 to 151.11 or 151.40 of the Revised Code, and may levy, 448
collect and apply any new or increased excise, tax, or revenue to 449
meet the pledge, to the payment of debt service on outstanding 450
obligations, of the state's full faith and credit, revenue and 451
taxing power, or of designated revenues and receipts, except fees, 452
excises or taxes referred to in Section 5a of Article XII, Ohio 453
Constitution, for other than obligations referred to in section 454
151.06 of the Revised Code and except net state lottery proceeds 455
for other than obligations referred to in section 151.03 of the 456
Revised Code. Nothing in division (N) of this section authorizes 457
any impairment of the obligation of this state to levy and collect 458
sufficient excises, taxes, and revenues to pay debt service on 459
obligations outstanding in accordance with their terms.460

       (O) Each bond service fund is a trust fund and is hereby 461
pledged to the payment of debt service on the applicable 462
obligations. Payment of that debt service shall be made or 463
provided for by the issuing authority in accordance with the bond 464
proceedings without necessity for any act of appropriation. The 465
bond proceedings may provide for the establishment of separate 466
accounts in the bond service fund and for the application of those 467
accounts only to debt service on specific obligations, and for 468
other accounts in the bond service fund within the general 469
purposes of that fund.470

       (P) Subject to the bond proceedings pertaining to any 471
obligations then outstanding in accordance with their terms, the 472
issuing authority may in the bond proceedings pledge all, or such 473
portion as the issuing authority determines, of the moneys in the 474
bond service fund to the payment of debt service on particular 475
obligations, and for the establishment and maintenance of any 476
reserves for payment of particular debt service.477

       (Q) The issuing authority shall by the fifteenth day of July 478
of each fiscal year, certify or cause to be certified to the 479
office of budget and management the total amount of moneys 480
required during the current fiscal year to meet in full all debt 481
service on the respective obligations and any related financing 482
costs payable from the applicable bond service fund and not from 483
the proceeds of refunding or renewal obligations. The issuing 484
authority shall make or cause to be made supplemental 485
certifications to the office of budget and management for each 486
debt service payment date and at such other times during each 487
fiscal year as may be provided in the bond proceedings or 488
requested by that office. Debt service, costs of credit 489
enhancement facilities, and other financing costs shall be set 490
forth separately in each certification. If and so long as the 491
moneys to the credit of the bond service fund, together with any 492
other moneys available for the purpose, are insufficient to meet 493
in full all payments when due of the amount required as stated in 494
the certificate or otherwise, the office of budget and management 495
shall at the times as provided in the bond proceedings, and 496
consistent with any particular provisions in sections 151.03 to 497
151.11 and 151.40 of the Revised Code, transfer a sufficient 498
amount to the bond service fund from the pledged revenues in the 499
case of obligations issued pursuant to section 151.40 of the 500
Revised Code, and in the case of other obligations from the 501
revenues derived from excises, taxes, and other revenues, 502
including net state lottery proceeds in the case of obligations 503
referred to in section 151.03 of the Revised Code.504

       (R) Unless otherwise provided in any applicable bond 505
proceedings, moneys to the credit of special funds may be invested 506
by or on behalf of the state only in one or more of the following:507

       (1) Notes, bonds, or other direct obligations of the United 508
States or of any agency or instrumentality of the United States, 509
or in no-front-end-load money market mutual funds consisting 510
exclusively of those obligations, or in repurchase agreements, 511
including those issued by any fiduciary, secured by those 512
obligations, or in collective investment funds consisting 513
exclusively of those obligations;514

       (2) Obligations of this state or any political subdivision of 515
this state;516

       (3) Certificates of deposit of any national bank located in 517
this state and any bank, as defined in section 1101.01 of the 518
Revised Code, subject to inspection by the superintendent of 519
financial institutions;520

       (4) The treasurer of state's pooled investment program under 521
section 135.45 of the Revised Code.522

       The income from investments referred to in division (R) of 523
this section shall, unless otherwise provided in sections 151.01 524
to 151.11 or 151.40 of the Revised Code, be credited to special 525
funds or otherwise as the issuing authority determines in the bond 526
proceedings. Those investments may be sold or exchanged at times 527
as the issuing authority determines, provides for, or authorizes.528

       (S) The treasurer of state shall have responsibility for 529
keeping records, making reports, and making payments, relating to 530
any arbitrage rebate requirements under the applicable bond 531
proceedings.532

       Sec. 151.04.  This section applies to obligations as defined 533
in this section.534

       (A) As used in this section:535

       (1) "Costs of capital facilities" include related direct 536
administrative expenses and allocable portions of direct costs of 537
the using institution.538

       (2) "Obligations" means obligations as defined in section 539
151.01 of the Revised Code issued to pay costs of capital 540

education" means a state university or college, or community 544
college district, technical college district, university branch 545
district, or state community college, or other institution for 546
education, including technical education, beyond the high school, 547
receiving state support or assistance for its expenses of 548
operation. "State university or college" means each of the state 549
universities identified in section 3345.011 of the Revised Code 550

institutions acting jointly, that are the ultimate users of 554
capital facilities for state-supported and state-assisted 555
institutions of higher education financed with net proceeds of 556
obligations.557

       (B) The issuing authority shall issue obligations to pay 558
costs of capital facilities for state-supported and state-assisted 559
institutions of higher education pursuant to Section 2n of Article 560
VIII, Ohio Constitution, section 151.01 of the Revised Code, and 561
this section.562

       (C) Net proceeds of obligations shall be deposited into the 563
higher education improvement fund created by division (F) of 564
section 154.21 of the Revised Code or into the higher education 565
improvement taxable fund created by division (G) of section 154.21 566
of the Revised Code, as appropriate.567

       (D) There is hereby created in the state treasury the "higher 568
education capital facilities bond service fund." All moneys 569
received by the state and required by the bond proceedings, 570
consistent with sections 151.01 and 151.04 of the Revised Code, to 571
be deposited, transferred, or credited to the bond service fund, 572
and all other moneys transferred or allocated to or received for 573
the purposes of that fund, shall be deposited and credited to the 574
bond service fund, subject to any applicable provisions of the 575
bond proceedings but without necessity for any act of 576
appropriation. During the period beginning with the date of the 577
first issuance of obligations and continuing during the time that 578
any obligations are outstanding in accordance with their terms, so 579
long as moneys in the bond service fund are insufficient to pay 580
debt service when due on those obligations payable from that fund 581
(except the principal amounts of bond anticipation notes payable 582
from the proceeds of renewal notes or bonds anticipated) and due 583
in the particular fiscal year, a sufficient amount of revenues of 584
the state is committed and, without necessity for further act of 585
appropriation, shall be paid to the bond service fund for the 586
purpose of paying that debt service when due.587

       Sec. 154.21.  (A) Subject to authorization by the general 588
assembly under section 154.02 of the Revised Code, the issuing 589
authority may authorize and issue obligations pursuant to this 590

       (B) Capital facilities for institutions of higher education 593
financed under this section may be leased by the commission to 594
institutions of higher education or to the Ohio board of regents 595
for the use of institutions of higher education, and such parties 596
may make other agreement for the use or sale and purchase of the 597
facilities; the Ohio board of regents may sublease such capital 598
facilities to institutions of higher education, and such parties 599
may make other agreement for the use or sale and purchase of the 600
facilities, in any manner permitted by the lease or agreement 601
between the commission and the Ohio board of regents; all upon 602
such terms and conditions as the parties may agree upon and 603
pursuant to this chapter, notwithstanding other provisions of law 604
affecting the leasing, acquisition, or disposition of capital 605
facilities by such parties. Any such leases, subleases, or 606
agreements may contain provisions setting forth the 607
responsibilities of the commission or issuing authority, 608
institutions of higher education, and Ohio board of regents as to 609
the financing, construction, operation, maintenance, and insuring 610
of such facilities and other terms and conditions applicable 611
thereto, including designation of the "owner" for purposes of 612
Chapter 153. of the Revised Code, and any other provisions 613
mutually agreed upon for the purposes of this chapter. Promptly 614
upon execution thereof, a signed or conformed copy of each such 615
lease or agreement, and any supplement thereto, between an 616
institution of higher education or the Ohio board of regents and 617
the commission shall be filed by the commission with the Ohio 618
board of regents, the issuing authority, and the director of 619
budget and management, and promptly upon execution thereof, a 620
signed or conformed copy of each such sublease or agreement 621
between the Ohio board of regents and an institution of higher 622
education shall be filed by the Ohio board of regents with the 623
commission and the director.624

       (C) For purposes of this section, "available receipts" means 625
fees, tuitions, charges, revenues, and all other receipts of or on 626
behalf of state-supported and state-assisted institutions of 627
higher education, any revenues or receipts derived by the 628
commission from the operation, leasing, or other disposition of 629
capital facilities financed under this section, the proceeds of 630
obligations issued under this section and sections 154.11 and 631
154.12 of the Revised Code, and also means any gifts, grants, 632
donations, and pledges, and receipts therefrom, available for the 633
payment of bond service charges on such obligations. Subject to 634
any pledge of that portion of available receipts, comprised of 635
fees, tuitions, charges, revenues, and receipts derived directly 636
by an institution of higher education, which has been or may 637
thereafter be made pursuant to section 3345.07, 3345.11, 3345.12, 638
3349.05, 3354.121, or 3357.112 of the Revised Code, the issuing 639
authority may pledge all or such portion as that authority 640
determines of the available receipts to the payment of bond 641
service charges on obligations issued under this section and 642
sections 154.11 and 154.12 of the Revised Code and for the 643
establishment and maintenance of any reserves, as provided in the 644
bond proceedings, and make other provisions therein with respect 645
to such available receipts as authorized by this chapter, which 646
provisions shall be controlling, notwithstanding any other 647
provision of law pertaining thereto.648

       (D) In the event that moneys in the higher education bond 649
service fund and available receipts from payments to be made to 650
the commission or issuing authority under leases and agreements 651
with the Ohio board of regents, together with any other funds made 652
available by the general assembly, will be insufficient, without 653
application of reserves, for the payment of bond service charges 654
and for the establishment and maintenance of reserves, as provided 655
in the bond proceedings, then the commission, upon consultation 656
with the institutions of higher education to be affected and the 657
Ohio board of regents, may require the institutions of higher 658
education to charge, collect, and transmit to the credit of the 659
higher education bond service fund provided for in division (E) of 660
this section, a special student fee, which may be a segregated 661
part of the established instruction fee or other fee, in such 662
amount or amounts as are necessary for the payment of the bond 663
service charges on obligations issued under this section and 664
sections 154.11 and 154.12 of the Revised Code and for the 665
establishment and maintenance of any reserves, as provided in the 666
bond proceedings. Such special fee constitutes "available 667
receipts" within the meaning thereof in division (C) of this 668
section, and may be pledged as therein provided in addition to, or 669
in lieu of, or to be applied prior to, other available receipts, 670
as provided in the bond proceedings; provided, that such special 671
fee shall not be deemed to be pledged by the institutions of 672
higher education under section 3345.07, 3345.11, 3345.12, 3349.05, 673
3354.121, or 3357.112 of the Revised Code. The issuing authority 674
may covenant in the bond proceedings to require such special fee 675
to be charged, collected, and transmitted pursuant to this 676
division. In the event the initiation of such special fee is 677
required in accordance with such covenant, the commission shall by 678
rules transmitted to each institution of higher education affected 679
thereby, fix, establish, and from time to time modify, as it may 680
consider appropriate, the amount or amounts of the fee, exemptions 681
therefrom, such distinctions, if any, as it may determine 682
appropriate for full-time and part-time students or students 683
enrolled in different programs, or other bases for distinction 684
among students, so that students throughout the state in similar 685
classifications under such rules are so far as feasible treated 686
alike, and establish and from time to time modify other rules, 687
procedures, and definitions for the charge, collection, and 688
transmission of such special fees. Notwithstanding any other 689
provision of law pertaining thereto, the governing boards of the 690
institutions of higher education shall charge, collect, and 691
transmit such special fee in accordance with such rules.692

       (E) There is hereby created the higher education bond service 693
trust fund, which shall be in the custody of the treasurer of 694
state but shall be separate and apart from and not a part of the 695
state treasury. All moneys received by or on account of the 696
commission or issuing authority and required by the applicable 697
bond proceedings to be deposited, transferred, or credited to the 698
higher education bond service trust fund, and all other moneys 699
transferred or allocated to or received for the purposes of the 700
higher education bond service trust fund, shall be deposited with 701
the treasurer of state and credited to such fund, subject to any 702
applicable provisions of the bond proceedings, without necessity 703
for any act of appropriation. The higher education bond service 704
trust fund is a trust fund and is hereby pledged to the payment of 705
bond service charges on the obligations issued pursuant to this 706
section and sections 154.11 and 154.12 of the Revised Code to the 707
extent provided in the applicable bond proceedings, and payment 708
thereof from such fund shall be made or provided for by the 709
treasurer of state in accordance with such bond proceedings 710
without necessity for any act of appropriation.711

       (F) There is hereby created in the state treasury the higher 712
education improvement fund. Subject to the bond proceedings 713
therefor, all of the proceeds of the sale of higher education 714
obligations issued pursuant to this section or section 151.04 of 715
the Revised Code shall be credited to the fund, except that any 716
accrued interest received on obligations issued pursuant to this 717
section shall be credited to the higher education bond service 718
fund. The higher education improvement fund may also be comprised 719
of gifts, grants, appropriated moneys, and other sums and 720
securities received to the credit of such fund. The fund shall be 721
applied only to the purpose of paying costs of capital facilities 722
for state-supported and state-assisted institutions of higher 723
education, which may include participation with one or more such 724
institutions of higher education in any such capital facilities by 725
way of grants, loans, or contributions to them for such capital 726
facilities.727

       (G) There is hereby created in the state treasury the higher 728
education improvement taxable fund. Subject to the bond 729
proceedings therefor, all of the net proceeds of higher education 730
obligations issued pursuant to this section or section 151.04 of 731
the Revised Code, the interest on which is not excluded from the 732
calculation of gross income for federal income taxation purposes 733
under the "Internal Revenue Code of 1986," 100 Stat. 2085, 26 734
U.S.C. 1 et seq., shall be credited to the fund, except that any 735
accrued interest received on obligations issued pursuant to this 736
section shall be credited to the higher education bond service 737
fund. The higher education improvement taxable fund may also be 738
comprised of gifts, grants, appropriated moneys, and other sums 739
and securities received to the credit of such fund. The fund shall 740
be applied only to the purpose of paying costs of capital 741
facilities for state-supported and state-assisted institutions of 742
higher education, which may include participation with one or more 743
such institutions of higher education in any such capital 744
facilities by way of grants, loans, or contributions to them for 745
such capital facilities.746

        (H) This section shall be applied with other applicable 747
provisions of this chapter.748

       (H)(I) Any instrument by which real property is acquired 749
pursuant to this section shall identify the agency of the state 750
that has the use and benefit of the real property as specified in 751
section 5301.012 of the Revised Code.752
