. (a) The authority may issue both defeasance and future
capital project bonds payable from the revenues of the tolls imposed
on the bridges described in Section 30910. The bonds or commercial
paper may be issued by the authority at any time, and from time to
time, payable from the revenues from the tolls. The bonds or
commercial paper shall be referred to as "toll bridge revenue bonds."
(b) The revenues from the tolls on the bridges described in
Section 30910 shall be subject to a statutory lien in favor of the
bondholders to secure all amounts due on the bonds and in favor of

amounts due to that provider with respect to those bonds, and the
lien shall immediately attach to those toll revenues and be
effective, binding, and enforceable against the authority, its
successors, creditors, and all others asserting rights therein,
irrespective of whether those parties have notice of the lien and
without the need for any physical delivery, recordation, filing, or
further act, and the toll revenues shall remain subject to that lien
until all bonds are paid in full or provision made therefor, and the
bridges shall not become toll-free prior to that time.
(c) The liens on toll revenues created by this chapter shall be
subject to expenditures for operation and maintenance of the bridges,
including toll collection, unless those expenditures are otherwise
provided for by statute.
(d) Interest on any bonds issued pursuant to this chapter shall at
all times be free from state personal income tax and corporate
income tax.
