0019|     and sell severance tax bonds in compliance with the Severance
    |
0020|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding one hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($175,000) when the administrative office
    |
0021|     of the courts certifies the need for the issuance of the bonds. 
    |
0022|     The state board of finance shall schedule the issuance and sale
    |
0023|     of the bonds in the most expeditious and economical manner
    |
0024|     possible upon a finding by the board that the project has been
    |
0025|     developed sufficiently to justify the issuance and that the
    |
0001|     project can proceed to contract within a reasonable time.  The
    |
0002|     state board of finance shall further take the appropriate steps
    |

    |
0008|     remaining at the end of fiscal year 1999 shall revert to the
    |
0009|     severance tax bonding fund.  If the administrative office of the
    |
0010|     courts has not certified the need for the issuance of the bonds
    |
0011|     by the end of fiscal year 1998, the authorization provided in
    |
0012|     this section shall be void.
    |
0013|       Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0014|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
