"    Section 1. That § 1-16A-93 be amended to read as follows:

    1-16A-93. Beginning July 1, 2013, any bonds, notes or other obligations of the authority which are payable out of receipts, rentals, and other payments made pursuant to lease purchase agreements with the Western Dakota Technical Institute, the Southeast Technical Institute, the Lake Area Technical Institute, the Mitchell Technical Institute, or the South Dakota Board of Education under the authority of chapter 13-39 may only be issued if the Board of Education determines, by the adoption of a resolution, that the estimated receipts, rentals, and other payments, including appropriations by the Legislature, student fee payments, or other balances or revenues pledged under the applicable bond indenture or similar agreement will not be less than one hundred three percent of the projected scheduled payments of principal and interest on all outstanding bonds which, for purposes of that determination shall include the proposed bonds to be issued and shall exclude any bonds to be refunded. Proposed issuance of obligations must comply with sections 4 and 5 of this Act. The South Dakota Board of Education must approve the issuance of additional obligations prior to submission to the Legislature. In issuing additional bonds, the authority may conclusively rely upon the determination of the board.

    Section 2. That § 1-16A-95 be amended to read as follows:

    1-16A-95. Beginning on July 1, 2013, the issuance of any additional bonds, notes, or other obligations of the authority which are payable out of receipts, rentals, and other payments made pursuant to lease purchase agreements with the Western Dakota Technical Institute, the Southeast Technical Institute, the Lake Area Technical Institute, the Mitchell Technical Institute, or the South Dakota Board of Education under the authority of chapter 13-39 shall be approved by the Legislature before issuance. The South Dakota Board of Education must approve the issuance of additional bonds, notes, or other obligations prior to submission to the Legislature in accordance with §§ 1-16A-93 and 1-16A-94 and applicable administrative rules. This requirement, however, does not apply to the issuance of bonds for the purposes of refinancing or refunding existing bonds, notes, or other obligations. ".
