AI Summary

This bill authorizes the state of Tennessee to issue up to $1,034,547,000 in general obligation bonds, with an additional 2.5% allowed for issuance costs and discounts. The bonds will be divided among three main departments: the Department of Finance and Administration will receive $820,547,000 for acquiring equipment, constructing buildings, and making improvements to existing structures, including grants to local governments; $134,000,000 for state office buildings and support facilities; and the Department of Transportation will receive $80,000,000 for highway construction, equipment acquisition, and bridge repair. The bonds must be issued within 20 years, with interest rates not exceeding the legal limit, and are exempt from state and local taxes except for inheritance, transfer, and estate taxes. The full faith and credit of Tennessee are pledged to repay these bonds, and no bonds will be issued until the state has appropriated funds to cover the first year's principal and interest payments. The bill also allows for the issuance of bond anticipation notes and includes provisions ensuring civil rights compliance and severability of the act's provisions.
