The maximum principal amount of state school facilities bonds that may be issued pursuant to this chapter shall not exceed seven hundred fifty million dollars except that this limitation shall not apply to any state school facilities bonds issued for the purpose of refunding prior issues of state school facilities bonds. The General Assembly directs the Department of Education to allocate seven hundred fifty million dollars pursuant to Section 59-144-100 and to inform each school district of its individual allocation. Further, it is the intent of the General Assembly that not more than two hundred fifty million dollars of state school facilities bonds shall be issued in fiscal year 1999-2000, except that no bonds issued in fiscal year 1999-2000 may be released until after January 1, 2000. The authority to issue bonds under this chapter shall expire four years from the effective date of this chapter. The four-year limitation, however, does not apply to bonds issued to retire bond anticipation notes.
