In computing the foregoing limitation as to amount, there shall be excluded all bonds which shall be issued for refunding purposes, provided that the refunding shall be determined by the authority to result in a debt service savings. The authority shall issue the bonds or notes in such manner as it shall determine in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1993, c.375 (C.18A:72A-49 et al.) and the "New Jersey educational facilities authority law," N.J.S.18A:72A-1 et seq., provided that no bonds or notes shall be issued pursuant to this section without the prior written consent of the State Treasurer. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the State Treasurer shall not consent to the issuance of any bonds or notes unless the amount scheduled for the annual debt service payments for each series of bonds or notes, consisting of the payment of interest and principal on the bonds or notes, are, as far as may be practicable, level for each fiscal year that any bonds or notes of the series are outstanding, except for a fiscal year in which the first or last payment on a series is the only payment made for that series during that fiscal year.  b. Bonds or notes issued pursuant to this act shall not be in any way a debt or liability of the State or of any political subdivision thereof other than the authority and shall not create or constitute any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or of any political subdivision thereof, or be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any political subdivision thereof, but all bonds or notes, unless funded or refunded by the bonds or notes of the authority, shall be payable solely from revenues of funds pledged or available for their payment as authorized by this act. Each bond shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the authority is obligated to pay the principal thereof, redemption premium, if any, or the interest thereon only from revenue or funds of the authority and that neither the State nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated to pay the principal thereof, redemption premium, if any, or interest thereon and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State or of any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or the interest on the bonds.  c.
