Purchase Act of 1974 (Article 3.1 (commencing with Section 987.50)),
and of all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, the
committee may create a debt or debts, liability or liabilities, of
the State of California, in the aggregate amount of not more than

998.102.  (a) All bonds authorized by this article, when duly sold

collection of state revenues shall collect this additional sum.
   (c) On the dates on which funds are remitted pursuant to Section

not in excess of the principal of, and interest on, any bonds then

of the bonds. If the money so returned on the remittance dates is
less than the principal and interest then due and payable, the
balance remaining unpaid shall be returned to the General Fund out of
the fund as soon as it shall become available, together with
interest thereon from the dates of maturity until so returned, at the
same rate of interest as borne by the bonds, compounded

998.104.  For purposes of this article, the Director of Finance may,
by executive order, authorize the withdrawal from the General Fund
of a sum of money not to exceed the amount of the unsold bonds which
have been authorized by the committee to be sold pursuant to this

made available under this section to the board shall be returned by

998.105.  The board may request the Pooled Money Investment Board to
make a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account, in accordance
with Section 16312 of the Government Code, for the purposes of
carrying out this chapter. The amount of the request shall not exceed

accordance with this chapter.



998.106.  Upon request of the board, supported by a statement of its
plans and projects approved by the Governor, the committee shall
determine whether to issue any bonds authorized under this article in
order to carry out the board's plans and projects, and, if so, the
amount of bonds to be issued and sold. Successive issues of bonds may
be authorized and sold to carry out these plans and projects
progressively, and it is not necessary that all the bonds be issued
or sold at any one time.



998.107.  So long as any bonds authorized under this article are
outstanding, the Director of Veterans Affairs shall, at the close of
each fiscal year, require a survey of the financial condition of the
Division of Farm and Home Purchases, together with a projection of
the division's operations, to be made by an independent public
accountant of recognized standing. The results of each survey and
projection shall be reported in writing by the public accountant to
the Director of Veterans Affairs, the California Veterans Board, the
appropriate policy committees dealing with veterans affairs in the
Senate and the Assembly, and the committee.
   The Division of Farm and Home Purchases shall reimburse the public
accountant for these services out of any money which the division
may have available on deposit with the Treasurer.



998.108.  The committee may authorize the Treasurer to sell all or
any part of the bonds authorized by this article at the time or times
fixed by the Treasurer.
   Whenever the committee deems it necessary for an effective sale of
the bonds, the committee may authorize the Treasurer to sell any
issue of bonds at less than their par value, notwithstanding Section
16754 of the Government Code. However, the discount on the bonds
shall not exceed 3 percent of the par value thereof.




998.109.  Out of the first money realized from the sale of bonds as
provided herein, there shall be redeposited in the General Obligation
Bond Expense Revolving Fund, established by Section 16724.5 of the
Government Code, the amount of all expenditures made for the purposes
specified in that section, and this money may be used for the same
purpose and repaid in the same manner whenever additional bond sales
are made.



998.110.  Any bonds issued and sold pursuant to this article may be

of Chapter 4 of Part 3 of Division 2 of Title 2 of the Government
Code. The approval of the voters for the issuance of bonds under this
article includes approval for the issuance of bonds issued to refund
bonds originally issued or any previously issued refunding bonds.




998.111.  Notwithstanding any provision of the bond act, if the
Treasurer sells bonds under this article for which bond counsel has
issued an opinion to the effect that the interest on the bonds is
excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income tax,
subject to any conditions which may be designated, the Treasurer may
establish separate accounts for the investment of bond proceeds and
for the earnings on those proceeds, and may use those proceeds or
earnings to pay any rebate, penalty, or other payment required by
federal law or take any other action with respect to the investment
and use of bond proceeds required or permitted under federal law
necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the bonds or to obtain
any other advantage under federal law on behalf of the funds of this
state.



998.112.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that, inasmuch
as the proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this article are
not "proceeds of taxes" as that term is used in Article XIII B of
the California Constitution, the disbursement of these proceeds is
not subject to the limitations imposed by Article XIII B.
