    |
0009|     severance tax bonding fund.  If the department of environment
    |
0010|     has not certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the
    |
0011|     end of fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided in this

0012|     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.
