(a) The proceeds derived from the sale of the bonds shall be deposited in the State Treasury and shall be carried in a separate fund therein for the account of the authority.

Monies in such fund, whether original proceeds from the sale of the bonds or principal proceeds of matured investments, shall be paid out from time to time in orders or warrants issued by or on the direction of the authority for any one or more of the purposes specified in Section 41-10-654 that may be deemed by the authority to be necessary to comply with any and all commitments made by the state to the company.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the authority may use proceeds of the bonds to fund any reserve fund or capitalized interest fund deemed by the authority to be necessary and desirable.
