Mich. Comp. Laws § 388.921
The people of the state of Michigan by constitutional amendments having authorized the state to borrow not to exceed $100,000,000.00, pledge its faith and credit and issue its bonds or notes therefor, for the purpose of making loans to school districts for the payment of principal and interest on school bonds heretofore or hereafter issued on certain conditions, the state administrative board is hereby authorized and directed to borrow on the full faith and credit of the state, from time to time, moneys not to exceed said aggregate sum, and to issue serial bonds of the state therefor. The amount to be borrowed from time to time shall not be less than such amount as shall be certified in writing by the superintendent of public instruction as being in his opinion necessary to provide funds for such loans to school districts over the next ensuing 2 calendar years. Such bonds shall be designated school loan bonds, and may be issued in series from time to time as moneys are needed for such school loan purposes, with different dates of issuance for each such series, and the state administrative board may from time to time determine and by resolution prescribe, the date of issue of each such series, the amount of bonds to be included in such series, the maturities of such bonds so included, the maximum rate or rates of interest on the bonds, the place or places of payment thereof, and provisions relative to registration of bonds, if any. Such bonds or any portion thereof may be made subject to redemption prior to maturity upon such terms as may be prescribed prior to the issuance of the bonds by resolution of said state administrative board. Said bonds shall be executed for and on behalf of the state of Michigan by the state treasurer and the secretary of state, or their deputies, and the seal of the state shall be affixed thereto by the secretary of state. Interest coupons evidencing accrued interest to the respective dates of maturity of said bonds shall bear the facsimile signature of the state treasurer. The bonds herein authorized to be issued shall be sold by the state administrative board, at not less than par and accrued interest. Such sale or sales shall be public sales held from time to time at the discretion of the said state administrative board, after notice by publication at least 5 days before each such sale, in a publication printed in the English language and circulated in the state of Michigan which carries as part of its regular service, notices of sale of municipal bonds. The bonds so sold at each such sale shall be awarded to the bidder whose bid in the opinion of said state administrative board would result in the lowest interest cost to the state. The state administrative board shall have the right to reject any or all bids.
