(1) The general assembly hereby declares that the policies and procedures contained in this article are enacted to facilitate the orderly implementation of article XXVII of the state constitution, adopted at the 1992 general election. The general assembly further declares that the payment of debt service on all obligations due from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1992-93 through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1997-98 which are set forth in section 3 (1)(c) of article XXVII of the state constitution are intended to be paid in full from net lottery proceeds. Accordingly, the general assembly finds that legislation which sets forth an orderly method for ensuring that such payments are made in a timely manner is necessary and that the orderly implementation of article XXVII of the state constitution promotes the health, safety, security, and general welfare of the people of the state of Colorado.
