Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 470 § 470.230 — Bond

Bond proceeds credited to Small Scale Local Energy Project Loan Fund; use of funds. Except as provided in ORS 470.270, all moneys obtained from the sale of general obligation bonds under ORS 470.220 to 470.290 and Article XI-J of the Oregon Constitution shall be credited by the State Treasurer to the Small Scale Local Energy Project Loan Fund. Those moneys shall be used only for the purposes stated in Article XI-J of the Oregon Constitution, including payment of the costs of issuing the bonds and of obtaining credit enhancement for the bonds, and making payments of interest on bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of ORS 470.220 to 470.290 if there are insufficient funds in the Small Scale Local Energy Project Administration and Bond Sinking Fund to make the payments referred to in ORS 470.300 (1). Moneys loaned to municipal corporations but withheld by the State Department of Energy for security or to pay for future project costs may remain in the loan fund. Pending the use of the moneys in the loan fund for the proper purposes, the moneys may be invested in the manner provided by law.
