    |
0021|     Act in an amount not exceeding eight hundred seventy-six
    |
0022|     thousand six hundred twenty-two dollars ($876,622) when the
    |
0023|     department of environment certifies the need for the issuance of
    |
0024|     the bonds.  The state board of finance shall schedule the
    |
0025|     issuance and sale of the bonds in the most expeditious and
    |
0001|     economical manner possible upon a finding by the board that the
    |
0002|     project has been developed sufficiently to justify the issuance
    |
0003|     and 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 department of environment for
    |
0008|     projects in the town of Springer in Colfax county in the
    |
0009|     following amounts for the following purposes:

0015|            B.  Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining
    |
0016|     at the end of fiscal year 1999 shall revert to the severance tax
    |
0017|     bonding fund.  If the department of environment has not
    |
0018|     certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end of
    |
0019|     fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0020|     shall be void.
