    |
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.
