1.15 	that is sold remain outstanding on the date of sale, the net proceeds of sale must be 
1.16 	applied as follows:
1.17 	(1) if the state bond financed property was acquired and bettered solely with state 
1.18 	bond proceeds, the net proceeds of sale must be paid to the commissioner and deposited 
1.19 	in the state treasury; or
