    |
0020|     Tax Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding five hundred thousand
    |
0021|     dollars ($500,000) when the local government division of the
    |
0022|     department of finance and administration certifies the need for
    |
0023|     the issuance of the bonds.  The state board of finance shall
    |
0024|     schedule the issuance and sale of the bonds in the most
    |
0025|     expeditious and economical manner possible upon a finding by the
    |
0001|     board that the project has been developed sufficiently to
    |
0002|     justify the issuance and that the project can proceed to
    |

0007|     local government division of the department of finance and
    |
0008|     administration for the purpose of planning, designing,
    |
0009|     remodeling or repairing the county courthouse located in San

    |
0014|     unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 1999
    |
0015|     shall revert to the severance tax bonding fund.  If the local
    |
0016|     government division of the department of finance and
    |
0017|     administration has not certified the need for the issuance of
    |
0018|     the bonds by the end of fiscal year 1998, the authorization
    |
0019|     provided in this section shall be void.
    |
0020|       Section 2.  EMERGENCY.--It is necessary for the public
    |
0021|     peace, health and safety that this act take effect immediately.
