Bonds - Disposition of proceeds.
The proceeds of all bonds, other than refunding bonds, issued by the corporation remaining after paying the expenses of their issuance shall be turned in to the Treasury, shall be carried in the Public Road and Bridge Account and shall be subject to be drawn on by the corporation, upon the approval of the State Department of Transportation and the Governor, but solely for the purpose of constructing, reconstructing and relocating public roads and bridges, or work incidental or related thereto, including the acquisition of property necessary therefor, in the State of Alabama; provided, that such funds may be used only for payment of the state's share of the cost of constructing, reconstructing and relocating public roads and bridges, or work incidental or related thereto, which have been or will be constructed, reconstructed or relocated under programs financed jointly by the state and the federal government; and provided further, that if such action shall be necessary in order to comply with any federal legislation relating to federal aid in construction of roads, the corporation may authorize the State Department of Transportation to expend directly any portion of such proceeds for constructing, reconstructing and relocating such roads and bridges, or work incidental or related thereto. The proceeds from the sale of any refunding bonds of the corporation remaining after paying the expenses of their issuance shall be used only for the purpose of refunding the principal of outstanding bonds of the corporation and of paying any premium that may be necessary to be paid in order to redeem or retire the bonds to be refunded.
