The purpose of the bonds is to provide funds for paying, together with any other available funds, the cost of acquiring, constructing, restoring, repairing, improving, renovating and refurbishing the physical plants, including incidental equipment, of higher education and related educational facilities. The full faith and credit of the Commonwealth is pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds and any bond anticipation notes or refunding bonds. The bill authorizes the Treasury Board, by and with the consent of the Governor, to fix the details of such bonds, to borrow money in anticipation of the issuance of the bonds, and to issue refunding bonds. The bill shall not become effective, and no bonds shall be issued, unless and until voter approval is obtained.
