Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 705.42955
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
- person: means a natural person, any form of business or social organization and any other nongovernmental legal entity including, but not limited to, a corporation, partnership, association, trust or unincorporated organization. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.039
- Statute: A law passed by a legislature.

The Commission, or a corporation formed by the Commission pursuant to the laws of this state or the State of California, as the Commission deems appropriate, may issue bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing to finance all or a part of the construction of all or a part of the Super Speed Ground Transportation System. For purposes of issuing bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing pursuant to this section, the Commission and any corporation formed by the Commission are constituted authorities for the purposes of regulations enacted by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 103 and 141 to 150, inclusive.

Nothing in this section authorizes the Commission or any corporation formed by the Commission to obligate this state or the State of California or any political subdivision thereof unless such State or political subdivision has obligated itself to the Commission or a corporation created by the Commission through an intergovernmental agreement.

It is the purpose of this section to provide expressly for the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of a security interest created by the Commission in pledged revenues or other money in connection with bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing issued pursuant to this section, as provided for in paragraph (n) of subsection 4 of NRS 104.9109. Any lien on pledged revenue or other money created to secure any bond, note, obligation or other evidence of borrowing issued pursuant to this section has priority over any lien thereon created pursuant to the provisions of chapters 104 to 104C, inclusive, of NRS unless otherwise provided in the instrument creating the lien to secure such bond, note, obligation or other evidence of borrowing issued pursuant to the provisions of this section.
