    |
0019|     Severance Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding one
    |
0020|     hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) when the state highway and
    |
0021|     transportation department certifies the need for the issuance
    |
0022|     of the bonds.  The state board of finance shall schedule the
    |
0023|     issuance and sale of the bonds in the most expeditious and
    |
0024|     economical manner possible upon a finding by the board that the
    |
0025|     project has been developed sufficiently to justify the issuance
    |
0001|     and that the project can proceed to contract within a
    |
0002|     reasonable time.  The state board of finance shall further take
    |
0003|     the appropriate steps necessary to comply with the Internal
    |
0004|     Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The proceeds from the sale
    |
0005|     of the bonds are appropriated to the state highway and
    |
0006|     transportation department for the purpose of graveling and
    |

0011|     fiscal year 2000 shall revert to the severance tax bonding
    |
0012|     fund.  If the state highway and transportation department has
    |
0013|     not certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end
    |
0014|     of fiscal year 1999, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0015|     shall be void.
    |
0016|          Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0017|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
