32.1 	payment of any redemption premiums on the bonds, any interest accrued or to accrue to 
32.2 	the redemption date, and costs related to the issuance and sale of the refunding bonds. The 
32.3 	proceeds of any refunding bonds may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be applied 
32.4 	to the purchase or payment at maturity of the appropriation bonds to be refunded, to the 
32.5 	redemption of the outstanding appropriation bonds on any redemption date, or to pay 
32.6 	interest on the refunding bonds and may, pending application, be placed in escrow to be

32.8 	pending such use, may be invested and reinvested in obligations that are authorized 
32.9 	investments under section 11A.24. The income earned or realized on the investment may 
32.10 	also be applied to the payment of the appropriation bonds to be refunded or interest or 
32.11 	premiums on the refunded appropriation bonds, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds. 
32.12 	After the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied, any balance of the proceeds and 
32.13 	any investment income may be returned to the general fund or, if applicable, the special

32.28 	powers of the state are not pledged to the payment of the appropriation bonds or to any 
32.29 	payment that the state agrees to make under this section. Appropriation bonds shall not be 
32.30 	obligations paid directly, in whole or in part, from a tax of statewide application on any 
32.31 	class of property, income, transaction, or privilege. Appropriation bonds shall be payable 
32.32 	in each fiscal year only from amounts that the legislature may appropriate for debt service 
32.33 	for any fiscal year, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to require the 
32.34 	state to appropriate money sufficient to make debt service payments with respect to the 
32.35 	appropriation bonds in any fiscal year. Appropriation bonds shall be canceled and shall 
32.36 	no longer be outstanding on the earlier of (1) the first day of a fiscal year for which the

33.14 	to repeal, unallotment under section 16A.152, or cancellation, otherwise pursuant to 
33.15 	subdivision 6, for deposit into the bond payments account established for such purpose 
33.16 	in the special Lewis and Clark  appropriation bond proceeds fund. The appropriation is
