(a) For the purpose of financing the construction, purchase and installation of pollution control devices at electric generation facilities and additions to electric generation facilities described in subsection (e) of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 66-104, and amendments thereto, the Kansas development finance authority is hereby authorized to issue revenue bonds in amounts sufficient to pay the costs of such construction, purchase and installation, including any required interest on the bonds during construction and installation, plus all amounts required for the costs of bond issuance and any required reserves on the bonds. The bonds, and interest thereon, issued pursuant to this section shall be payable from revenues derived from sales of generation from the electric generation facility. As used in this subsection, “pollution control devices” means any device or structure required to meet air emission or water discharge standards imposed by state or federal law.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 74-8905, and amendments thereto, shall not prohibit the issuance of bonds by the Kansas development finance authority for the purposes of this section and any such issuance of bonds is exempt from the provisions of subsection (a) of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 74-8905, and amendments thereto, which would operate to preclude such issuance.

(c) Revenue bonds, including refunding revenue bonds, issued hereunder shall not constitute an indebtedness of the state of Kansas, nor shall they constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision limiting the incurring of indebtedness.

(d) Revenue bonds, including refunding revenue bonds, issued hereunder and the income derived therefrom are and shall be exempt from all state, county and municipal taxation in the state of Kansas, except Kansas estate taxes.
