    |
0004|     shall further take the appropriate steps necessary to comply
    |
0005|     with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
    |
0006|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the

    |
0013|     department of finance and administration has not certified the
    |
0014|     need for the issuance of the bonds by the end of fiscal year
    |
0015|     1998, the authorization provided in this section shall be void.
