Sec. 13a-244. Federal aid. For the purposes of sections 13a-239 to 13a-246, inclusive, "state moneys" means the proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized pursuant to
said sections or of temporary notes issued in anticipation of the money to be derived
from the sale of such bonds. With each request filed as provided in section 13a-240 for
an authorization of bonds pursuant to said sections for financing all or any part of the
project authorized by section 13a-32, there shall also be filed a certificate, signed in the
same manner as such request, stating whether, in the opinion of the signer, all or any
part of federal moneys then available or thereafter to be made available for costs in
connection with the project should be added to the state moneys available or becoming
available hereunder for the project. If the certificate so filed states that some amount of
such federal moneys should be added to such state moneys, then, if and to the extent
directed by the State Bond Commission at the time of authorization of such bonds, said
amount of such federal moneys then available or thereafter to be made available for
costs in connection with the project may be added to any state moneys available or
becoming available hereunder for the project and be used for the project as if constituting
such state moneys, and any other federal moneys then available or thereafter to be made
available in connection with the project, if and to the extent from time to time directed
by the State Bond Commission, upon receipt shall, in conformity with applicable federal
law, be used by the Treasurer to meet principal of outstanding bonds issued pursuant
to said sections 13a-239 to 13a-246, inclusive, or to meet the principal of temporary
notes issued in anticipation of the money to be derived from the sale of bonds theretofore
authorized pursuant to said sections for the purpose of financing such costs, either by
purchase or redemption and cancellation of such bonds or notes or by payment thereof
at maturity. Whenever any of the federal moneys so received with respect to the project
are used to meet principal of such temporary notes or whenever principal of any of such
temporary notes is retired by application of revenue receipts of the state, the amount of
bonds theretofore authorized in anticipation of which such temporary notes were issued,
and the aggregate amount of bonds which may be authorized pursuant to subsection (a)
of section 13a-239, shall each be reduced by the amount of the principal so met or retired.
Pending use of the federal moneys so received to meet principal, the amount thereof
may be invested by the Treasurer in bonds or obligations of, or guaranteed by, the state
or the United States or agencies or instrumentalities of the United States, and shall be
deemed to be part of the debt retirement funds of the state, and net earnings on such
investments shall be used in the same manner as the moneys so invested.
