GOV § 63049.3 Effective Jan 1, 2003Div. 1 · Title 6.7 · Ch. 2 · Art. 7

Statute text

Any sale of some or all of the tobacco assets under this article shall be treated as a true sale and absolute transfer of the property so transferred to the special purpose trust and not as a pledge or grant of a security interest by the state, the bank board, the State Public Works Board, or the bank for any borrowing. The characterization of the sale of any of those assets as an absolute transfer by the participants shall not be negated or adversely affected by the fact that only a portion of the tobacco assets is transferred, nor by the state’s acquisition of an ownership interest in any residual interest or a subordinate interest in the tobacco assets, nor by any characterization of the special purpose trust or its bonds for purposes of accounting, taxation, or securities regulation, nor by any other factor whatsoever.
