service on outstanding obligations as it comes due, all in 420
accordance with Section 2k, 2l, 2m, 2n, 2o, 2p, 2q, or 15 of 421
Article VIII, Ohio Constitution, and section 151.03, 151.04, 422
151.05, 151.06, 151.07, 151.08, 151.09, 151.10, or 151.11 of the 423
Revised Code. Moneys referred to in Section 5a of Article XII, 424
Ohio Constitution, may not be pledged or used for the payment of 425
debt service except on obligations referred to in section 151.06 426

state covenants, and that covenant shall be controlling 431
notwithstanding any other provision of law, that the state and the 432
applicable officers and agencies of the state, including the 433
general assembly, shall, so long as any obligations are 434
outstanding in accordance with their terms, maintain statutory 435
authority for and cause to be levied, collected and applied 436
sufficient pledged excises, taxes, and revenues of the state so 437
that the revenues shall be sufficient in amounts to pay debt 438
service when due, to establish and maintain any reserves and other 439
requirements, and to pay financing costs, including costs of or 440
relating to credit enhancement facilities, all as provided for in 441
the bond proceedings. Those excises, taxes, and revenues are and 442
shall be deemed to be levied and collected, in addition to the 443
purposes otherwise provided for by law, to provide for the payment 444
of debt service and financing costs in accordance with sections 445
151.01 to 151.11 of the Revised Code and the bond proceedings.446

       (N) The general assembly may from time to time repeal or 447
reduce any excise, tax, or other source of revenue pledged to the 448
payment of the debt service pursuant to Section 2k, 2l, 2m, 2n, 449
2o, 2p, 2q, or 15 of Article VIII, Ohio Constitution, and sections 450
151.01 to 151.11 or 151.40 of the Revised Code, and may levy, 451

151.06 of the Revised Code and except net state lottery proceeds 458
for other than obligations referred to in section 151.03 of the 459
Revised Code. Nothing in division (N) of this section authorizes 460
any impairment of the obligation of this state to levy and collect 461
sufficient excises, taxes, and revenues to pay debt service on 462
obligations outstanding in accordance with their terms.463

       (O) Each bond service fund is a trust fund and is hereby 464
pledged to the payment of debt service on the applicable 465
obligations. Payment of that debt service shall be made or 466
provided for by the issuing authority in accordance with the bond 467
proceedings without necessity for any act of appropriation. The 468
bond proceedings may provide for the establishment of separate 469
accounts in the bond service fund and for the application of those 470
accounts only to debt service on specific obligations, and for 471
other accounts in the bond service fund within the general 472
purposes of that fund.473

       (P) Subject to the bond proceedings pertaining to any 474
obligations then outstanding in accordance with their terms, the 475
issuing authority may in the bond proceedings pledge all, or such 476
portion as the issuing authority determines, of the moneys in the 477
bond service fund to the payment of debt service on particular 478
obligations, and for the establishment and maintenance of any 479
reserves for payment of particular debt service.480

       (Q) The issuing authority shall by the fifteenth day of July 481
of each fiscal year, certify or cause to be certified to the 482
office of budget and management the total amount of moneys 483
required during the current fiscal year to meet in full all debt 484
service on the respective obligations and any related financing 485
costs payable from the applicable bond service fund and not from 486
the proceeds of refunding or renewal obligations. The issuing 487
authority shall make or cause to be made supplemental 488
certifications to the office of budget and management for each 489
debt service payment date and at such other times during each 490
fiscal year as may be provided in the bond proceedings or 491
requested by that office. Debt service, costs of credit 492
enhancement facilities, and other financing costs shall be set 493
forth separately in each certification. If and so long as the 494
moneys to the credit of the bond service fund, together with any 495
other moneys available for the purpose, are insufficient to meet 496
in full all payments when due of the amount required as stated in 497
the certificate or otherwise, the office of budget and management 498
shall at the times as provided in the bond proceedings, and 499
consistent with any particular provisions in sections 151.03 to 500
151.11 and 151.40 of the Revised Code, transfer a sufficient 501
amount to the bond service fund from the pledged revenues in the 502
case of obligations issued pursuant to section 151.40 of the 503
Revised Code, and in the case of other obligations from the 504

referred to in section 151.03 of the Revised Code.507

funds or otherwise as the issuing authority determines in the bond 529
proceedings. Those investments may be sold or exchanged at times 530
as the issuing authority determines, provides for, or authorizes.531

keeping records, making reports, and making payments, relating to 533
any arbitrage rebate requirements under the applicable bond 534

       (B) The issuing authority shall issue obligations to pay 561
costs of capital facilities for state-supported and state-assisted 562
institutions of higher education pursuant to Section 2n of Article 563
VIII, Ohio Constitution, section 151.01 of the Revised Code, and 564

received by the state and required by the bond proceedings, 573
consistent with sections 151.01 and 151.04 of the Revised Code, to 574

and all other moneys transferred or allocated to or received for 576
the purposes of that fund, shall be deposited and credited to the 577
bond service fund, subject to any applicable provisions of the 578
bond proceedings but without necessity for any act of 579
appropriation. During the period beginning with the date of the 580
first issuance of obligations and continuing during the time that 581
any obligations are outstanding in accordance with their terms, so 582
long as moneys in the bond service fund are insufficient to pay 583

such terms and conditions as the parties may agree upon and 606
pursuant to this chapter, notwithstanding other provisions of law 607
affecting the leasing, acquisition, or disposition of capital 608
facilities by such parties. Any such leases, subleases, or 609
agreements may contain provisions setting forth the 610
responsibilities of the commission or issuing authority, 611
institutions of higher education, and Ohio board of regents as to 612
the financing, construction, operation, maintenance, and insuring 613
of such facilities and other terms and conditions applicable 614
thereto, including designation of the "owner" for purposes of 615
Chapter 153. of the Revised Code, and any other provisions 616

board of regents, the issuing authority, and the director of 622

154.12 of the Revised Code, and also means any gifts, grants, 635

payment of bond service charges on such obligations. Subject to 637
any pledge of that portion of available receipts, comprised of 638
fees, tuitions, charges, revenues, and receipts derived directly 639
by an institution of higher education, which has been or may 640
thereafter be made pursuant to section 3345.07, 3345.11, 3345.12, 641
3349.05, 3354.121, or 3357.112 of the Revised Code, the issuing 642

available by the general assembly, will be insufficient, without 656
application of reserves, for the payment of bond service charges 657

in the bond proceedings, then the commission, upon consultation 659
with the institutions of higher education to be affected and the 660
Ohio board of regents, may require the institutions of higher 661
education to charge, collect, and transmit to the credit of the 662
higher education bond service fund provided for in division (E) of 663

part of the established instruction fee or other fee, in such 665
amount or amounts as are necessary for the payment of the bond 666
service charges on obligations issued under this section and 667
sections 154.11 and 154.12 of the Revised Code and for the 668
establishment and maintenance of any reserves, as provided in the 669
bond proceedings. Such special fee constitutes "available 670
receipts" within the meaning thereof in division (C) of this 671
section, and may be pledged as therein provided in addition to, or 672

3354.121, or 3357.112 of the Revised Code. The issuing authority 677
may covenant in the bond proceedings to require such special fee 678
to be charged, collected, and transmitted pursuant to this 679
division. In the event the initiation of such special fee is 680
required in accordance with such covenant, the commission shall by 681
rules transmitted to each institution of higher education affected 682
thereby, fix, establish, and from time to time modify, as it may 683
consider appropriate, the amount or amounts of the fee, exemptions 684
therefrom, such distinctions, if any, as it may determine 685
appropriate for full-time and part-time students or students 686
enrolled in different programs, or other bases for distinction 687
among students, so that students throughout the state in similar 688
classifications under such rules are so far as feasible treated 689
alike, and establish and from time to time modify other rules, 690
procedures, and definitions for the charge, collection, and 691
transmission of such special fees. Notwithstanding any other 692
provision of law pertaining thereto, the governing boards of the 693
institutions of higher education shall charge, collect, and 694
transmit such special fee in accordance with such rules.695

       (E) There is hereby created the higher education bond service 696
trust fund, which shall be in the custody of the treasurer of 697
state but shall be separate and apart from and not a part of the 698

bond service charges on the obligations issued pursuant to this 709
section and sections 154.11 and 154.12 of the Revised Code to the 710

treasurer of state in accordance with such bond proceedings 713
without necessity for any act of appropriation.714

section shall be credited to the higher education bond service 721
fund. The higher education improvement fund may also be comprised 722

securities received to the credit of such fund. The fund shall be 724
applied only to the purpose of paying costs of capital facilities 725
for state-supported and state-assisted institutions of higher 726
education, which may include participation with one or more such 727
institutions of higher education in any such capital facilities by 728

Controlling Board or the Director of Budget and Management, the 2001
agency may administer the capital project or projects for which 2002
agency administration has been authorized without the supervision, 2003

guarantees by or on behalf of the state, or for payments under 2018
lease agreements relating to or debt service on bonds, notes, or 2019
other obligations of the state. Notwithstanding any other section 2020
of law to the contrary, this authorization includes appropriations 2021
from funds into which proceeds or direct obligations of the state 2022
are deposited only to the extent that the judgment, settlement, or 2023
administrative award is for or represents capital costs for which 2024
the appropriation may otherwise be used and is consistent with the 2025
purpose for which any related obligations were issued or entered 2026
into. Nothing contained in this section is intended to subject the 2027
state to suit in any forum in which it is not otherwise subject to 2028
suit, and it is not intended to waive or compromise any defense or 2029
right available to the state in any suit against it.2030

unless the mechanics, laborers, or workers engaged therein are 2046
paid the prevailing rate of wages prescribed in section 4115.04 of 2047
the Revised Code. Nothing in this section affects the wages and 2048

will not negatively affect any exemption or exclusion from federal 2066
income tax of the interest or interest equivalent on obligations 2067
issued to provide moneys to the particular fund.2068

       (2) Moneys for the project will come from the proceeds of 2069
