ISSUANCE OF BONDS

     SECTION 8.  General obligation bonds may be issued, as provided by law, to yield the amount that may be necessary to finance projects authorized in part II and listed in part IV of this Act; provided that the sum total of the general obligation bonds so issued shall not exceed $38,964,000.

PART VI 

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

     SECTION 9.  Any law or any provision of this Act to the contrary notwithstanding, the appropriations made for capital improvement projects authorized in part II and listed in part IV of this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal year for which the appropriations are made; provided that all appropriations made for fiscal year 2011-2012 and fiscal year 2012-2013 that are unencumbered as of June 30, 2014, shall lapse as of that date.

     SECTION 10.  The judiciary is authorized to delegate to other state or county agencies the planning, acquisition of land, design, construction, and equipment of any capital improvement project when it is determined by the judiciary to be advantageous to do so.

     SECTION 12.  If the amount allocated from the general obligation bond fund for a capital improvement project listed in part IV of this Act is insufficient, the chief justice may make supplemental allotments from the project adjustment fund; provided that supplemental allotments shall not be used to increase the scope of the project.

     SECTION 13.  Where it has been determined that changed conditions, such as reduction in the particular population being served, permit the reduction in the scope of a project listed in part IV of this Act, the chief justice may authorize such reduction of project scope.

     SECTION 14.  The chief justice shall determine when and the manner in which the authorized capital improvement projects shall be initiated.  The chief justice shall notify the governor from time to time of the specific amounts required for the projects, and the governor shall provide for those amounts through the issuance of bonds authorized in part V of this Act.

     SECTION 15.  Any law or any provision of the law to the contrary notwithstanding, the chief justice may supplement funds for any cost element for a capital improvement project authorized under this Act by transferring such sums as may be needed from the funds appropriated for other cost elements of the same project by this Act or by any other prior or future Act that have not lapsed; provided that the total expenditure of funds for all cost elements for the project shall not exceed the total appropriation for that project.
