    |
0019|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance
    |
0020|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding two hundred forty-seven thousand dollars ($247,000) when the department of
    |
0021|     environment certifies the need for the issuance of the bonds. 
    |
0022|     The state board of finance shall schedule the issuance and sale
    |
0023|     of the bonds in the most expeditious and economical manner
    |
0024|     possible upon a finding by the board that the project has been
    |
0025|     developed sufficiently to justify the issuance and that the
    |
0001|     project can proceed to contract within a reasonable time.  The
    |
0002|     state board of finance shall further take the appropriate steps
    |
0003|     necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    |
0004|     amended.  The proceeds from the sale of the bonds are
    |
0005|     appropriated to the department of environment for the purpose of

    |
0007|     wells, the booster pump and the chlorination system in the city
    |

    |
0009|     unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 1999
    |
0010|     shall revert to the severance tax bonding fund.  If the
    |
0011|     department of environment has not certified the need for the
    |
0012|     issuance of the bonds by the end of fiscal year 1998, 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.
