(2) In a resolution or ordinance described in Subsection (1), the local entity is not required to describe each block, lot, part of a block or lot, tract, or parcel of property assessed. (3) The local entity shall ensure that each reduction under Subsection (1)(a) is equal to the amount by which the principal, interest, or combined principal and interest payable on the refunding assessment bond, after accounting for incidental refunding costs associated with the refunding assessment bond, is less than the amount of principal, interest, or combined principal and interest payable on the prior bonds.

(9) A lien securing a reduced payment obligation from which a refunding assessment bond is payable and by which the bond is secured is subordinate to an energy assessment lien that secures the original or prior assessment and prior bonds until the prior bonds are paid in full or legally considered to be paid in full. (10) Unless prior bonds are paid in full simultaneously with the issuance of a refunding assessment bond, the local entity shall: (a) irrevocably set aside the proceeds of the refunding assessment bond in an escrow or other separate account; and (b) pledge the account described in Subsection (10)(a) as security for the payment of the prior bonds, the refunding assessment bond, or both. (11) This part applies to any refunding assessment bond: (a) regardless of whether the local entity already issued the bond; and (b) regardless of whether the local entity issued the prior bonds that the bond refunded under prior law and regardless of whether that law is currently in effect.
