0020|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance

0023|     state board of finance shall schedule the issuance and sale of
    |
0024|     the bonds in the most expeditious and economical manner possible
    |
0025|     upon a finding by the board that the project has been developed

0002|     proceed to contract within a reasonable time.  The state board
    |
0003|     of finance shall further take the appropriate steps necessary to
    |
0004|     comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
    |
0005|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the
    |
0006|     office of cultural affairs for the purpose of making renovations

    |
0011|     bonding fund.  If the office of cultural affairs has not
    |
0012|     certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end of
    |
0013|     fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0014|     shall be void.
    |
0015|       Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0016|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
