Official statutory text
A. At any election upon the question of issuing bonds, which if
approved would require an ad valorem tax levy or pledging the full
faith and credit of the State of Oklahoma, the governmental entity
calling such election shall set forth in each proposition to be
voted upon the general purpose for which the bond proceeds will be
expended. This shall not require the proposition or the bond to
recite specific projects and dollar amounts.
B. At any election upon the question of issuing bonds, which if
approved would require an ad valorem tax levy or pledging the full
faith and credit of the State of Oklahoma, the governmental entity
calling such election shall set forth in the call of election, in a
legally qualified newspaper of general circulation in the area
wherein said bond issue proceeds are to be expended, a general
statement of all purposes and specific projects for which seventy
percent (70%) of the proceeds shall be expended, with a further
listing of the dollar amounts to be expended on each specific
project. The dollar figure left unlisted as to specific projects
shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of the
bond issue.
C. If any such bond issue is approved at an election, the
particular governmental entity shall expend all of the proceeds of
such bond issue for the purposes set out in the proposition voted
upon and shall expend not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the
monies allocated to each specific project, unless such project can

be completed for a smaller amount of money, on that project as
published according to Section 4(B) of this act and for which the
bond issue was approved. Provided, however, that if any money
becomes available from any source outside the bond proceeds for any
specific project, the outside funds would be used to reduce the
amount of bond funds to be expended on that specific project. In
such event, the governmental entity may expend that amount less than
the specified eighty-five percent (85%) and may use the surplus
funds on other projects within the same general purpose or to reduce
the sinking fund. This section shall not apply in the event a final
judicial determination or federal or state laws, regulations or
rules preclude the undertaking or completion of a specific project.
