That assumption by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall not in any way affect the rights of the parties to the contract, lease, license, or agreement.

Any ongoing obligations or responsibilities of the predecessor entities, continuing entities, and any of their predecessors for managing and maintaining bond issuances shall be transferred to the newly created entity without impairment to any security contained in the bond instrument.
