executors, administrators, trustees, and other fiduciaries, for state
school funds, pension funds, and for any funds that may be invested
in county, school, or municipal bonds. These bonds are securities
that may legally be deposited with, and received by, any state or

to which funds have been provided under this division. However, for
the purposes of meeting the necessary expenses of initial
organization and operation until the date that the bank derives
revenues or proceeds from bonds as provided under this division, the
bank may borrow money as needed for the purposes of meeting the
necessary expenses of initial organization and operation from the
Pooled Money Investment Account, as specified in subdivision (w) of
Section 63025.1 or from any special funds, including the special
funds of existing financing authorities. The borrowed money shall be
repaid with interest within a reasonable time after the bank receives

by the bank is required to pay any property taxes or assessments

long as the bank, on behalf of the state, holds title to the project
or to the property contained in the project.
(b) The exemption of the bank or of a special purpose trust from
taxation of any property shall cease when title to the property is
transferred from the bank to any taxable person or entity. This

with respect to any project, or the property of facilities contained
in any project that may otherwise be applicable to the person.

63033. The state does hereby pledge to, and agrees with, the

vested in the bank to finance any project and to fulfill the terms of
any loan agreement, lease, or other contract with the agency
pursuant to this division, or in any way impair the rights or
remedies of the bondholders or of the parties until those bonds,
together with interest thereon, are fully discharged or provision for

include this pledge and undertaking for the state in its obligations
or contracts.
