A. There is hereby created a special account in the State Treasury to be known as the "Industrial Development Loan Fund", to which fund shall be credited all monies received as loan capital by the Authority from whatever source the same may be obtained. To this fund there shall also be deposited and credited all payments received on interest and principal of loans outstanding made, or to be made, by the Authority, all such deposits to be made in the State Treasury immediately upon receipt of same.
B. As often as may be necessary the Authority shall requisition from the Industrial Development Loan Fund, upon warrants duly drawn as required by law, such amounts as shall be allocated and appropriated by the Authority for loans to industrial development agencies upon approved industrial development projects. When and as the amounts so allocated and appropriated by the Authority as loans to industrial development agencies are repaid to the Authority pursuant to the terms of the mortgages and other agreements made and entered into by the Authority, the Authority shall immediately pay such amounts into said fund, it being the intent of this act that the Industrial Development Loan Fund shall operate as a revolving fund whereby all monies placed therein shall be applied and reapplied to the purposes of this act; provided, however, if the Authority deems it advisable, separate accounts may be set up within the Industrial Development Loan Fund in order to segregate the various monies loaned to or received from certain industrial agencies.
C. The Authority is hereby authorized to use up to one-half of the monies in the Industrial Development Loan Fund to purchase federally guaranteed Small Business Administration loans or loans of similar federal programs for investment purposes. Such investments may be made at such times, in such manner and in such amounts as the Authority may determine to aid and assist with Oklahoma's industrial development and provide additional employment and payrolls within this state.
D. To guarantee payment of interest on bonds, as the same shall become due, the Authority shall pay into a special "Bond Interest Account" fund, out of the first earned interest received into the Industrial Development Loan Fund, an amount sufficient to cover all interest requirements at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof.
E. To guarantee retirement of bonds at maturity, the Authority shall provide for a Bond Redemption Account, in addition to interest reserves, as above set out, and there shall be paid annually into such Bond Redemption Account, after all interest requirements have been met, beginning at a time to be determined by the Authority, a sum sufficient to retire all of the bonds issued at maturity.
F. The Authority is hereby further authorized to issue and sell its bonds, in the manner provided by law.
