    |
0019|     issue and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the
    |
0020|     Severance Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding one
    |
0021|     hundred eighty-nine thousand dollars ($189,000) when the state
    |
0022|     engineer certifies the need for the issuance of the bonds.  The
    |
0023|     state board of finance shall schedule the issuance and sale of
    |
0024|     the bonds in the most expeditious and economical manner
    |
0025|     possible upon a finding by the board that the project has been

    |
0002|     project can proceed to contract within a reasonable time.  The
    |
0003|     state board of finance shall further take the appropriate steps
    |
0004|     necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    |
0005|     amended.  The proceeds from the sale of the bonds are

    |

    |
0010|     balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2000 shall revert
    |
0011|     to the severance tax bonding fund.  If the state engineer has
    |
0012|     not certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end
    |
0013|     of fiscal year 1999, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0014|     shall be void.
    |
0015|          Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0016|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
