Facilities revenue bonds are distinguished from state general obligation debt

Although the Arizona Constitution limits state general obligation debt, school facilities revenue bonds issued under A.R.S. §§ 41-5751 and 41-5781 are not treated as general obligation debt because repayment relies on non-tax revenues rather than the state's general taxing power.
