(a) In addition to the powers otherwise granted by law, the authority has the power and is authorized to make loans to any local government unit to finance the construction of education projects pursuant to a loan agreement between the local government unit and the authority. Such loans shall be made from the proceeds of bonds or notes issued by the authority pursuant to this chapter for the purpose of making such loans; provided, however, that the bonds and notes of the authority that may be outstanding at any time for such purpose shall not exceed seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000). Such bonds or notes may be payable from or secured by the general shortfall reserve subaccount created by § 4-51-111 as the authority may provide in the indentures or resolutions authorizing and securing the authority’s bonds and notes, which indentures and resolutions may include covenants with the holders of the bonds and notes with respect to the use, including limitations on such use, of such subaccount.
