(B) At or before the delivery of bonds by the authority, the authority, by resolution of the authority, certificate of an officer or employee of the authority, or other manner as the authority determines, shall establish with respect to all bonds of the authority then outstanding and then proposed to be delivered that, following the period during which interest on bonds or loan obligations is capitalized, either: (1) the ratio of all assets, including, without limitation, loan obligations, reserves, and any amounts to be received pursuant to an agreement with any federal or state agency held, or to be held, as security for all the bonds to the principal amount of all the bonds is not less than 1.10 to 1; or (2) the ratio of anticipated annual receipts to be derived from assets described in (1), above, to annual debt service on all the bonds is estimated to be not less than 1.10 to 1. (C) With respect to bonds, or that portion of an issue of bonds, issued to refund outstanding bonds of the authority, in lieu of the requirements of subsection (B) of this section, the bonds may be issued if the authority establishes with respect to the issuing of the bonds the debt service with respect to the refunding bonds is not expected to exceed debt service with respect to the refunded bonds in any year in which the refunded bonds were outstanding. (D) No project receiving funding from bond proceeds authorized under this chapter may be implemented until the Joint Bond Review Committee, in consultation with the authority, establishes priorities for funding of the projects. The Joint Bond Review Committee shall report its priorities to the members of the General Assembly within thirty days of the establishment of the funding priorities. In establishing these priorities for projects authorized and funded by bonds issued pursuant to this chapter, the Joint Bond Review Committee has the same responsibilities, mutatis mutandis, provided in Section 2-47-30 for its functions with respect to projects funded by state general obligation and institutional bonds.
