(b) Take or permit any action that impairs or would impair the value of investment recovery property.

(c) Except as provided for in this Section and except for adjustments under any true-up mechanism established by the commission, reduce, alter, or impair investment recovery charges that are to be imposed, collected, and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders and other financing parties until any and all principal, interest, premium, financing costs, and other fees, expenses, or charges incurred, and any contracts to be performed, in connection with the related investment recovery bonds have been paid and performed in full.

(2) Nothing in this Subsection shall preclude limitation or alteration if and when full compensation is made by law for the full protection of the investment recovery charges imposed, charged, and collected pursuant to a financing order and full protection of the holders of investment recovery bonds and any assignee or financing party.
