    |
0019|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance
    |
0020|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding four hundred twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($427,500) when the
    |
0021|     department of environment certifies the need for the issuance of
    |
0022|     the bonds.  The state board of finance shall schedule the
    |
0023|     issuance and sale of the bonds in the most expeditious and
    |
0024|     economical manner possible upon a finding by the board that the
    |
0025|     project has been developed sufficiently to justify the issuance
    |
0001|     and that the project can proceed to contract within a reasonable
    |
0002|     time.  The state board of finance shall further take the
    |
0003|     appropriate steps necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue
    |
0004|     Code of 1986, as amended.  The proceeds from the sale of the
    |
0005|     bonds are appropriated to the department of environment for the
    |
0006|     purpose of designing, constructing and inspecting water system
    |
0007|     improvements in the Brazito community located in Dona Ana
    |
0008|     county.  Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the
    |
0009|     end of fiscal year 1999 shall revert to the severance tax
    |
0010|     bonding fund.  If the department of environment has not
    |
0011|     certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end of
    |
0012|     fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0013|     shall be void.
    |
0014|       Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0015|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
