2. No project or phase of a project for the creation of facilities defined in NRS 244A.475 may be authorized for funding with state securities until such funding is approved by the Governor and, if the amount of state securities proposed exceeds $50,000,000, by the Legislative Commission of the Legislature.
3. The advisory committee may recommend to the board the implementation of design, engineering, specification development or pilot plant studies for the furtherance of any project or phase of a project to accomplish the development of the facilities defined in NRS 244A.475 . The implementation of such recommendations to be financed by the issuance of state securities may be authorized by the board with the approval of the Governor and the Legislative Commission of the Legislature.
