The Commission, acting for and on behalf of the State of Oklahoma, shall issue, sell and deliver, as hereinafter provided, a series of bonds designated "State of Oklahoma Institutional Building Bonds of 1965" (herein called the "Series D Bonds"), in the principal sum of Sixteen Million Five Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($16,525,000.00). It is hereby expressly provided and pledged for the benefit of the purchasers, owners and holders of said bonds that seven cents ($0.07) of the tax on each package of cigarettes levied by Section 302 of House Bill No. 511, enacted by the Thirtieth Oklahoma Legislature, constituting the remainder of revenue available for the revenues lawfully levied and collected by the State of Oklahoma on the sale of cigarettes not already committed to other obligations of the State of Oklahoma, or so much as may be necessary, shall be devoted irrevocably to the payment and discharge of the interest on, and the principal of, the bonds issued hereunder as the same become due, and to create an adequate reserve to assure such payments when due; and said revenues shall be, and hereby are, irrevocably pledged for such purposes. There is in the State Treasury a fund known as the "State of Oklahoma Institutional Building Bonds of 1965 Sinking Fund" (herein called the "sinking fund"), established by said House Bill No. 1122, which is hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the interest on, and principal of, the Series D Bonds, in addition to other State of Oklahoma Institutional Building Bonds of 1965, and monies to the credit thereof shall be paid out only in the manner and at the time and places provided for in the resolution or resolutions of the Commission authorizing the issuance of such bonds. Beginning on the first day of the month following the adoption of said constitutional amendment, the Oklahoma Tax Commission, when transmitting to the State Treasurer the monthly collection of the tax on cigarettes, shall also transmit to the State Treasurer a schedule showing the net proceeds of seven cents ($0.07) of the tax on each package of cigarettes levied by Section 302 of House Bill No. 511, enacted by the Thirtieth Oklahoma Legislature. It shall be the duty of the State Treasurer, upon receiving said taxes and schedules from the Oklahoma Tax Commission, to deposit in the sinking fund such portions of the cigarette tax or taxes hereinabove pledged to the payment of the bonds issued hereunder as may be necessary to assure prompt payment of the interest on, and the principal of, the outstanding State of Oklahoma Institutional Building Bonds of 1965 as the same fall due. The State Treasurer shall deposit in the sinking fund, in addition to all other amounts required to be deposited therein, the following sums for the following fiscal years for the payment of the principal upon the Series D Bonds:
For the fiscal years commencing July 1, 1971, 1972 and 1973, the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) each year; for the fiscal years commencing July 1, 1974, 1975, and 1976, the sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) each year; for the fiscal years commencing July 1, 1977, to and including the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1982, the sum of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00) each year; for the fiscal years commencing July 1, 1983, to and including the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1991, the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) each year; for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1992, the sum of One Million Five Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($1,525,000.00) and, in addition thereto, in each of said fiscal years the amount necessary for the payment of interest on the Series D Bonds. In the event that the payments into the sinking fund in any fiscal year plus the accumulation in such sinking fund is not sufficient to pay the principal and interest due the following July 15 on the State of Oklahoma Institutional Building Bonds of 1965, then it shall be the duty of the State Treasurer to pay into said sinking fund from the cigarette funds such sum of money as may be necessary to pay said principal and interest. The cigarette tax monies hereinabove pledged to the retirement of the Series D Bonds shall constitute the primary revenue dedicated to the payment of the interest on, and the principal of, said bonds issued hereunder, but it is further pledged, for the purchasers, owners and holders of said bonds, that the State of Oklahoma, if and when it shall appear to be necessary, hereby devotes irrevocably to the payment of the interest on, and principal of said bonds, any monies in the General Revenue Fund of the State of Oklahoma not otherwise obligated, committed or appropriated, and the State Treasurer is directed to apply such General Revenue Fund of the State of Oklahoma for such purpose. The State of Oklahoma further pledges to the purchasers, owners and holders of said bonds that it will, if and when it shall appear to be necessary, impose and collect a tax and devote the proceeds thereof, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Series D Bonds issued hereunder as they come due. The Series D Bonds issued hereunder, and the interest thereon, shall be general obligations of the State of Oklahoma, and the full faith, credit and resources of the State of Oklahoma are pledged to their payment. The Commission is authorized to incorporate on the face of each of the bonds issued under this act, pledges the same or substantially the same as those made herein. The pledges and covenants so made by the Commission shall constitute the commitment of the State of Oklahoma, made in full good faith, in its sovereign capacity, and shall be binding upon said state and the Legislature, officers, instrumentalities and agents thereof, so long as any of the interest on, or principal of, said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid. The Commission is authorized to make such other equally binding covenants and agreements, not inconsistent with this act or House Joint Resolution No. 522 (552) of the Thirtieth Oklahoma Legislature, as it deems to be needful and appropriate to the general purpose of effectuating this act.
