A resolution, an indenture, or other instrument by which a pledge is created is not required to be filed or recorded, except in the records of the authority. An action taken to enforce a pledge under this subsection and to realize the benefits of the pledge is limited to the property pledged.

(b) The proceeds of any bonds or notes shall be used solely for the purposes for which they are issued. The proceeds shall be disbursed in such manner and under such restrictions, if any, as the authority may provide in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or notes or in the trust agreement securing the same.

(c) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the authority may, under like restrictions and subject to the approval of the public finance director appointed under IC 5-1.2-3-6, issue interim receipts or temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such bonds shall have been executed and are available for delivery.

(B) officer or chief executive officer, legislative body, and fiscal body of the audited entity and the department of local government finance (in the case of any other audited entity);

that the audited entity refused to correct the audited entity's failure to observe a uniform compliance guideline established under IC 5-11-1-24(a), or refused to comply with a specific law, with notice of the recommendation described in subsection (e)(4) published on the general assembly's website.
