(b) The refunding bonds shall be general obligations of the state and shall be secured and sold in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter.

(c) The proceeds of the refunding bonds either may be applied to the payment of the bonds being refunded or deposited in trust and there maintained in cash or investments for the retirement of the bonds being refunded as shall be specified by the authority in the resolution or trust indenture authorizing or securing the refunding bonds.

(d) The resolution or trust indenture under which the refunding bonds are issued may provide that any refunding bonds shall have the same security for payment as provided for the bonds being refunded. Other than approval of the resolution or trust indenture under which refunding bonds are issued by appropriate action of the authority, no additional action or approval for the issuance of refunding bonds shall be required to be taken by the General Assembly, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, or the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State under this subchapter or as otherwise may be provided by other law.
