The department shall likewise pay the cost of printing, lithographing, or otherwise preparing the revenue bonds, the charges of any duly authorized agent of the State Treasurer appointed for the payment of principal and interest of the revenue bonds in any place other than the office of the State Treasurer, any expenses incurred in connection with delivery of the revenue bonds including the fees and expenses of municipal bond attorneys whose opinion on the validity of the revenue bonds is to be provided by the department without charge to the successful purchaser of the revenue bonds. The department is authorized to employ any nationally known municipal bond attorney or attorneys and the Attorney General for the purpose of rendering legal opinions as to the validity of the revenue bonds to be furnished to the purchaser of the revenue bonds without cost. The department is also authorized to employ or appoint such independent financial consultants, attorneys, certified public accountants, public accountants, engineers, or other independent consultants whose services or opinions are necessary or advisable in connection with the issuance and sale of revenue bonds. Payment for such services shall be made from the proceeds of the sale of the revenue bonds or from any other funds available to the department on a warrant duly drawn by the State Controller for that purpose. Such expenses may also include the cost of delivering revenue bonds at any place other than the office of the State Treasurer, including transportation and insurance costs and the costs of using uniform identification numbers as specified by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedure (CUSIP numbers) on the bonds including filing fees, printing, and related costs.
