(2) To the extent other general obligation bonds of the state may have been issued or may subsequently be issued, they shall rank on a parity of security with respect to payment from general revenues.

(d) Moneys in the bond fund over and above the amount necessary to ensure the prompt payment of debt service on the bonds and the establishment and maintenance of a reserve fund, if any, may be used for the redemption of bonds prior to maturity in the manner and in accordance with the provisions pertaining to redemption prior to maturity as set forth in the resolution or trust indenture authorizing or securing the bonds.
