    |
0020|     Bonding Act in an amount not exceeding six hundred twenty-five
    |
0021|     thousand dollars ($625,000) when the local government division
    |
0022|     of the department of finance and administration certifies the
    |
0023|     need for the issuance of the bonds.  The state board of finance
    |
0024|     shall schedule the issuance and sale of the bonds in the most
    |
0025|     expeditious and economical manner possible upon a finding by
    |
0001|     the board that the project has been developed sufficiently to
    |
0002|     justify the issuance and that the project can proceed to
    |
0003|     contract within a reasonable time.  The state board of finance
    |
0004|     shall further take the appropriate steps necessary to comply
    |
0005|     with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
    |
0006|     proceeds from the sale of the bonds are appropriated to the

    |
0008|     following purposes:

    |
0017|     in northern Eddy county.
    |
0018|               B.  If the local government division has not
    |
0019|     certified the need for the issuance of the bonds by the end of
    |
0020|     fiscal year 1999, the authorization provided in this section
    |
0021|     shall be void.  Any unexpended or unencumbered balance
    |
0022|     remaining from the proceeds of severance tax bonds issued

0023|     pursuant to Subsection A of this section at the end of fiscal
    |
