entirety to the payment of the debentures.



1003.4.  The department shall at all times, so long as any of the
debentures are outstanding, establish, fix, and collect interest at
the rate or rates, which may be fixed interest rates or variable
interest rates, on the unpaid balance on all pledged contracts to
produce an amount that, together with income derived from
investments, will yield revenues that will, in the aggregate, be
sufficient with respect to the then immediately ensuing fiscal year
to pay and provide for all of the following:
   (a) Interest to become due and payable in that fiscal year on all
debentures.
   (b) The principal amount of all serial debentures maturing by
their terms during that fiscal year.

thereof.



1003.8.  All debenture redemption and interest payments and any
premium payable upon debentures called for redemption, and all
payments required for reserve funds, sinking funds and all other
funds created as further security for the debentures constitute a
first, direct, and exclusive charge and lien on all revenues of the
pledged contracts and the interest or other income derived therefrom.
Such revenues, together with any interest or other income earned
thereon, and such funds and the interest and income earned thereon,
constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the
debentures and shall not be used or pledged for any other purpose or
transferred to any other fund as long as any such debentures are
outstanding and unpaid.



1003.10.  There is in the State Treasury a revolving fund known as
the Veterans' Farm and Home Building Fund of 1970. Proceeds of sale
of debentures shall be deposited in this fund. Money may be withdrawn

Veterans' Debenture Principal Fund Account, Veterans' Debenture
Sinking Fund, Veterans' Debenture Reserve Fund Account and also any
other funds or accounts which will be deemed necessary or desirable

of issuance establishing such funds may provide for the manner and
method of disbursement of such funds, the amounts to be deposited

moneys in any such funds to the purchase or redemption of debentures
and for the investment of moneys in such funds in particular bonds or
obligations which are then made eligible for such investments by the
terms of such resolution.



1003.12.  The State Controller is hereby authorized to make all
necessary orders to provide for the establishment of special funds

1003.13.  Prior to the issuance of any debentures the department is
authorized to deposit in any reserve fund created for the further
security of the debentures, as the initial deposit therein, cash or
securities equal to the minimum amounts required to be maintained
therein by any resolution of issuance. Excess money in the reserve
fund or account not required to be maintained therein by the
provisions of any resolution of issuance may be withdrawn at the
request of the department and transferred to the Veterans' Farm and
Home Building Fund of 1970 and used and applied for the purpose of
carrying out the Veterans' Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1974.




1003.14.  Debentures authorized under any resolution of issuance
approved by the Veterans' Debenture Finance Committee shall be sold
by the State Treasurer upon the written request of the department at
public or private sale, as determined by the department with the
approval of the Veterans' Debenture Finance Committee, and at those
times and in those amounts that the department deems necessary to
provide sufficient funds for the purposes for which the debentures
are then authorized. Successive issues of debentures within the
limits of the authorization for the issuance of debentures, if any of
those limitations are included in the proceedings for the issuance
of the debentures, shall be equally and regularly secured without
preference, priority or distinction as to security or otherwise by
reason of time of issue, or sale, except as debentures of various
series may differ with respect to dates, numbers, interest rates,
maturity, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, or
otherwise as authorized in any resolution of issuance.




1003.15.  In the event the State Treasurer shall determine to sell
the debentures, all costs and expenses of publication of notice of
sale shall be a charge against the department and shall be paid by
the department. The department shall likewise pay the cost of
printing, lithographing or otherwise preparing the debentures, the
charges of any duly authorized agent of the State Treasurer appointed
for the payment of principal and interest of the debentures in any
place other than the office of the State Treasurer, any expenses
incurred in connection with delivery of the debentures, including the
fees and expenses of municipal bond attorneys whose opinion on the
validity of the debentures is to be provided by the department
without charge to the successful purchaser of the debentures. The
department is authorized to employ any nationally known municipal
bond attorney or attorneys and the Attorney General for the purpose
of rendering legal opinions as to the validity of the debentures to
be furnished to the purchaser of the debentures without cost. The
department is also authorized to employ or appoint such independent
financial consultants, attorneys, certified public accountants,
public accountants, engineers or other independent consultants whose
services or opinions are necessary or advisable in connection with
the issuance and sale of revenue debentures. Payment for such
services shall be made from the proceeds of the sale of the
debentures or from any other funds available to the department on
Controller's warrant duly drawn for that purpose. Such expenses may
also include the cost of delivering debentures at any place other

insurance costs.

and in lieu of a pledge of revenues as security for any debentures
issued pursuant to this chapter, the department may assign or pledge
an undivided interest in the assets of the Veterans' Farm and Home
Building Fund of 1943 as security for the debentures. Undivided
interest so assigned or pledged shall not exceed the amount of
principal and interest of the debentures secured thereby, and shall
be secondary and subordinate to any interest or right of the people
and the holders of general obligation bonds in the fund under any
general obligation veterans bond act.
   (b) In that event, the department shall deposit the proceeds of
the sale of the debentures and the revenues therefrom in the Veterans'
Farm and Home Building Fund of 1943, and money may be withdrawn
therefrom in accordance with law upon requisition of the department
for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this chapter and of
the Veterans' Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1943 and the Veterans'
Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1974. The department may create any
accounts or funds within the Veterans' Farm and Home Building Fund of

appropriate or desirable for carrying out the provisions of this
section.
   (c) Further, in that event, and notwithstanding Section 1006.15,
the interest rates on veterans' purchase contracts shall be
established as provided in Section 987.87.
