  1. In the event of a failure of any local government to collect and remit in full all amounts due to the authority and all amounts due to others, which involve the credit or guarantee of the authority or of the state, on the date such amounts are due under the terms of any bond, revenue bond, note, or other obligation of the local government, it shall be the duty of the authority to notify the state treasurer who shall withhold all funds of the state and all funds administered by the state, its agencies, boards, and instrumentalities allotted to such local government, excluding funds for education purposes, until such local government has collected and remitted in full all sums due and cured or remedied all defaults on any such bond, revenue bond, note, or other obligation.
  2. Nothing contained in this Code section shall mandate the withholding of funds allocated to a local government which would violate contracts to which the state is a party, the requirements of federal law imposed on the state, or judgments of any court binding the state.
