    |
0018|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance
    |
0019|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding one hundred fifty
    |
0020|     thousand dollars ($150,000) when the state agency on aging
    |
0021|     certifies the need for the issuance of the bonds.  The state
    |
0022|     board of finance shall schedule the issuance and sale of the
    |
0023|     bonds in the most expeditious and economical manner possible
    |
0024|     upon a finding by the board that the project has been developed
    |
0025|     sufficiently to justify the issuance and that the project can
    |
0001|     proceed to contract within a reasonable time.  The state board
    |
0002|     of finance shall further take the appropriate steps necessary to
    |
0003|     comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
    |
0004|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the
    |
0005|     state agency on aging for the purpose of designing,
    |
0006|     constructing, equipping or furnishing the Cimarron senior
    |
0007|     citizen center located in Colfax county.  Any unexpended or
    |
0008|     unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 1999
    |
0009|     shall revert to the severance tax bonding fund.  If the state
    |
0010|     agency on aging has not certified the need for the issuance of
    |
0011|     the bonds by the end of fiscal year 1998, the authorization
    |
0012|     provided in this section shall be void.
    |
0013|       Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0014|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
