    |
0017|          Section 1.  SEVERANCE TAX BONDS--PURPOSE FOR WHICH ISSUED-
    |
0018|     -APPROPRIATION OF PROCEEDS.--The state board of finance may
    |
0019|     issue and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the
    |
0020|     Severance Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding one
    |
0021|     hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) when the local
    |
0022|     government division of the department of finance and
    |
0023|     administration certifies the need for the issuance of the
    |
0024|     bonds.  The state board of finance shall schedule the issuance
    |
0025|     and sale of the bonds in the most expeditious and economical
    |
0001|     manner possible upon a finding by the board that the project
    |
0002|     has been developed sufficiently to justify the issuance and
    |
0003|     that the project can proceed to contract within a reasonable
    |
0004|     time.  The state board of finance shall further take the
    |
0005|     appropriate steps necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue
    |
0006|     Code of 1986, as amended.  The proceeds from the sale of the
    |
0007|     bonds are appropriated to the local government division for the
    |
0008|     purpose of initiating crime prevention through environmental
    |
0009|     design projects, including designing for increased visibility,
    |
0010|     controlled street access, acquisition of open park land,
    |
0011|     lighting and other capital improvements for house district 19
    |
0012|     located in Bernalillo county.  The certification and issuance
    |
0013|     of bonds is contingent upon the city of Albuquerque seeking the
    |
0014|     advice of the house district 19 neighborhood associations on
    |
0015|     what capital improvements should be funded.  Any unexpended or
    |
0016|     unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2000
    |
0017|     shall revert to the severance tax bonding fund.  If the local
    |
0018|     government division has not certified the need for the issuance
    |
0019|     of the bonds by the end of fiscal year 1999, the authorization
    |
0020|     provided in this section shall be void.
    |
0021|          Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0022|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
