An amount not to exceed the amount of unsold bonds which the board has by resolution authorized to be sold for the purposes of carrying out this part is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Director of Finance, who may direct that any portion of that amount shall be deposited into a special account in the Public Building Construction Fund, to be used for the construction of public buildings to be financed pursuant to this part, as authorized by the Legislature. Any amounts made available from the General Fund under this section to the board shall be repaid by the board to the General Fund from the proceeds received from the sale of bonds sold for the purpose of financing the public buildings. These amounts shall be repaid to the General Fund with interest at the rate which the Treasurer certifies would have been earned on those amounts if invested in the Surplus Money Investment Fund.
