14-143-118. Issuance of revenue bonds -- Default.

(a) (1) In the event of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any bonds issued under this chapter, any court having jurisdiction may appoint a receiver to take charge of any facilities upon or in which there is a mortgage lien or security interest securing the bonds in default.

(2) The receiver shall have the power to operate and maintain the facilities in receivership and to charge and collect taxes, fees, rates and rents sufficient to provide for the payment of any costs of receivership and operating expenses of the facilities in receivership and to apply the revenues derived from the facilities in receivership in conformity with this chapter and the resolution or indenture securing the bonds in default.

(3) When the default has been cured, the receivership shall be ended and the facilities returned to the authority.

(b) The relief provided for in this section shall be construed to be in addition and as supplemental to the remedies that may be provided for in the resolution or indenture securing the bonds and shall be so granted and administered as to accord full recognition to priority rights of bondholders as to the pledge of revenues from, mortgage lien on, and security interest in facilities as specified in and fixed by the resolution or indenture securing successive issues of bonds.
