New Mexico Statutes Chapter 6. Public Finances § 6-13-18. Security; priority of liens

A. All bonds of the same issue under the Institution Bond Act have a prior and paramount lien upon income from the permanent fund and upon the income and current fund of the institution issuing the bonds. This lien is ahead of all bonds of any series secured by a pledge of this income and fund which may be subsequently authorized, and is ahead of any claims or other obligations of any nature against this income and fund subsequently arising or incurred.

B. The bonds are subject to any prior and superior rights of any outstanding bonds, claims or other obligations previously issued, arising or incurred, but the resolution authorizing issuance of bonds under the Institution Bond Act may provide for subsequent authorization of bonds having a lien for payment on income from the permanent fund and on the income and current fund of the institution at a parity with the lien of earlier bonds upon conditions provided in the resolution.

C. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution, all bonds of the same series issued under the Institution Bond Act shall be equally and ratably secured without priority by reason of number, date or [of] bonds, sale, execution or delivery, by a lien on income from the permanent fund and on the income and current fund of the issuing state institution in accordance with the terms of the Institution Bond Act.
