    |
0005|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the

    |
0009|     remaining at the end of fiscal year 2000 shall revert to the
    |
0010|     severance tax bonding fund.  If the state highway
    |
0011|     transportation department has not certified the need for the
    |
0012|     issuance of the bonds by the end of fiscal year 1999, the
    |
0013|     authorization provided in this section shall be void.

0014|          Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0015|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
