(B) The trust indenture or indentures shall be binding upon the state and its agencies, officers, and officials to the extent set forth in this subchapter or as otherwise authorized by law.

(b) Any resolution or trust indenture adopted or executed under this section shall provide that power is reserved:

(1) To apply to the payment of debt service on the bonds issued or secured under Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 82, and this subchapter all, any part, or none of the revenues that may be derived from any qualified Amendment 82 project financed by the bonds or financed by the authority in some other manner; and
