Official statutory text
(a) Money appropriated for the Foundation School Program that may be used for the purpose under this subchapter and under any other law, rule, or regulation shall be used to provide credit enhancement for eligible bonds as provided by this subchapter, the General Appropriations Act, and board rule if using the permanent school fund to guarantee particular bonds would result in:

(B) federal law or regulations; or
(2) the use of a portion of the cost value of the permanent school fund reserved under Section 45.0531, as determined by the board.
