O.C.G.A. 50-34-12 (2010)
50-34-12. All moneys received deemed to be trust funds; pledge of assets, funds, and properties for payment of bonds
(a) All moneys received pursuant to the authority of this chapter, whether as proceeds from the sale of bonds or other obligations, as grants or other contributions, or as revenues and earnings, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided in this chapter. The authority shall, in the resolution providing for the issuance of bonds or in the trust indenture, provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds and the earnings and revenues to be received to any officer who, or any agency, bank, or trust company which, shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes expressed in this chapter, subject to such regulations as this chapter and such resolution or trust indenture may provide.
(b) The authority may pledge for the payment of its bonds such assets, funds, and properties as the resolution providing for the issuance of its bonds may provide. Any such pledge made by the authority is valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made; the moneys or properties so pledged and thereafter received by the authority are immediately subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and the lien of any such pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind against the authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. No resolution or any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
