Section 41-10-103
Leasing of projects.
(a) Leases to municipality, county or state. The corporation, the municipality, the county and the state are hereby respectively authorized to enter into with each other one or more lease agreements whereunder a project or any part thereof shall be leased by the corporation to such other party for a term not longer than the then current fiscal year of such lessee, but any such lease agreement may contain a grant to such lessee of successive options of renewing said lease agreement on the term specified therein for any subsequent fiscal year or years of such lessee. The rental for each fiscal year during which said lease agreement shall be in effect shall be due in advance on the first day of the fiscal year, and the said rental for said fiscal year shall be payable and any such covenant to pay rent on the part of such municipality or county or the state shall be performed solely out of its current revenues for such fiscal year. The rental payable and the covenants to be performed by the municipality or the county or the state under the provisions of said lease agreement shall not be such as to create an indebtedness within the meaning of Sections 213, 224 or 225 of the constitution.
(b) Leases to public corporations or state agencies. The corporation and any public corporation or state agency are hereby respectively authorized to enter into with each other one or more lease agreements whereunder a project or any part thereof shall be leased by the corporation to said public corporation or state agency for a term not longer than 30 years. Neither the state, the county nor any municipality in the county shall in any manner be liable for the performance of any obligation or agreement contained in any lease agreement between the corporation and a public corporation or state agency. The rental payable and the covenants to be performed by a public corporation or state agency under the provisions of any such lease agreement shall never create a debt of the state, the county or any municipality therein within the meaning of Sections 213, 224 or 225 of the constitution.
(c) Leases to others. The corporation is hereby authorized to lease a project or any part thereof to any person, firm or corporation for such period of time and on such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed on by the parties to the agreement under which such lease shall be made.
