. (a) When the committee deems it in the best interests of the
state, it may authorize the Treasurer, upon those terms and
conditions that may be fixed by the committee or determined by the
Treasurer, to issue notes, on a negotiated or a competitive-bid
basis, maturing within a period not to exceed five years, in
anticipation of the sale of bonds duly authorized at the time the
notes are issued. The proceeds from the sale of those notes shall be
deposited in the related fund and used only for the purposes for
which may be used the proceeds of the sale of bonds in anticipation
whereof the notes were issued or as additionally authorized by this
section.
(b) The notes authorized by this section may be sold at a price
at, above, or below the principal amount thereof, at the discretion
of the Treasurer.
(c) Any premium received from the sale of notes authorized by this
section may be applied to pay costs of issuance of the notes or
interest accruing on the notes.
(d) The notes authorized by this section may bear a fixed or
variable rate or rates of interest.
(e) In connection with the sale of notes pursuant to this section,
the Treasurer may engage the services of legal and financial
advisers, credit enhancers, trustees or paying agents, and other
professionals that the Treasurer deems necessary, and may enter into
contracts for these services, to be paid from proceeds of the notes
or any duly enacted appropriation.
(f) When the committee deems it in the best interests of the
state, it may authorize the Treasurer to deliver the notes in payment
for work or material furnished to the state for a public
improvement, pursuant to a contract awarded in the manner prescribed
by law. The notes shall be so delivered only for the purposes for
which may be used the proceeds of the sale of bonds in anticipation
whereof the notes were issued.
(g) All notes issued pursuant to this section and any renewals
thereof shall be payable at a fixed time, solely from the proceeds of
the sale of the bonds and not otherwise, except if the sale of the
bonds did not occur prior to the maturity of the notes issued in
anticipation of the sale, the Treasurer shall, in order to meet the
notes or the renewals thereof then maturing, issue renewal notes for
this purpose. No renewal of a note or a renewal note shall be issued
after the sale of bonds in anticipation of which the original note
was issued.
(h) Every note issued pursuant to this section and any renewal
thereof shall, unless paid from a renewal note, be payable from the
proceeds of the sale of bonds and not otherwise. The total amount of
the notes or renewals thereof issued and outstanding shall not exceed
the total amount of the unsold bonds.
(i) Interest on the notes issued pursuant to this section shall be
payable from any appropriation made for that purpose or from
proceeds of the sale of the notes.
