The bonds shall bear interest at rates not exceeding six and one-half percent (6.50%) per annum, payable semiannually. The Treasurer of the State of West Virginia shall issue his or her check for the interest and principal then due on the same dates each year and mail it to the registered owner at the addresses shown by the record of registration or shall provide the requisite funds by electronic means acceptable to the public municipal finance industry. The bonds may be redeemable on a date or dates prior to maturity as determined by the Governor; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the bonds shall be signed on behalf of the State of West Virginia as provided under §17-26A-2 of the Code of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Governor shall sell the bonds herein mentioned at a time or times during the fiscal year as he may determine necessary to provide funds for matching available federal funds for highway and bridge construction and for general highway and secondary roads and bridge construction or improvements in this state, as herein provided, upon recommendation of the Commissioner of Highways; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the proceeds of all sales of bonds herein authorized shall be paid into the State Road Fund created by §17-3-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, and used for the purposes set forth in §17-26A-1 et seq. of said code and in the Roads to Prosperity Amendment of 2017; and, be it
