II.

Under this section, delinquent installments shall incur interest and penalties as specified in the financing agreement between the property owner and capital provider. Enforcement of a delinquent installment by a capital provider shall be enforced with the provisions of paragraph III and shall follow the procedures under RSA 479, including the power of sale, except that assessments not yet due may not be accelerated or eliminated by foreclosure of the past due amounts of the lien. Any outstanding and delinquent property taxes at the time of the enforcement action shall be satisfied along with the delinquent amounts of the special assessment lien.

Neither the state nor any county nor any municipality nor any program administrator may use public funds to fund or repay any financing or lien between a capital provider and property owner except to the degree funds are received from the project expressly for such a purpose. No section under this chapter shall be interpreted to pledge, offer, or encumber the full faith and credit of the state, county, program administrator, or a municipality, nor shall any municipality pledge, offer, or encumber its full faith and credit for any lien amount through a program.
