0017|       Section 1.  SEVERANCE TAX BONDS--PURPOSE FOR WHICH ISSUED--APPROPRIATION OF PROCEEDS.--The state board of finance may issue
    |
0018|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance
    |
0019|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding four hundred ninety-
    |
0020|     three thousand seven hundred sixty-two dollars ($493,762) when
    |
0021|     the interstate stream commission certifies the need for the
    |
0022|     issuance of the bonds.  The state board of finance shall
    |
0023|     schedule the issuance and sale of the bonds in the most
    |
0024|     expeditious and economical manner possible upon a finding by the
    |
0025|     board that the project has been developed sufficiently to
    |
0001|     justify the issuance and that the project can proceed to
    |
0002|     contract within a reasonable time.  The state board of finance
    |
0003|     shall further take the appropriate steps necessary to comply
    |
0004|     with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
    |
0005|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the
    |
0006|     interstate stream commission for the purpose of making
    |
0007|     improvements to the Ponderosa-Vallecitos dam and reservoir
    |
0008|     located in Sandoval county.  Any unexpended or unencumbered
    |
0009|     balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 1999 shall revert to
    |
0010|     the severance tax bonding fund.  If the interstate stream
    |
0011|     commission has not certified the need for the issuance of the
    |
0012|     bonds by the end of fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided
    |
0013|     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.
