1 16 "Sec. . WORKFORCE ATTRITION PROGRAM AND FUND.
1 17 1. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, and
1 18 ending June 30, 2002, the department of management
1 19 shall establish a workforce attrition program. The
1 20 department shall administer the program as necessary
1 21 to achieve the goal of eliminating full-time
1 22 equivalent positions in the executive branch of state
1 23 government that approximate the number of executive
1 24 branch employees who voluntarily retire during the
1 25 fiscal year.
1 26 2. a. The department shall establish a workforce
1 27 attrition fund to receive transfers of moneys from
1 28 executive branch agencies and departments representing
1 29 unused general fund wages and benefits, after payment
1 30 for vacation or sick leave benefits, of employees who
1 31 retire during the fiscal year.
1 32 b. Unless an exception is authorized in accordance
1 33 with paragraph "c", if an employee of an executive
1 34 branch department or agency voluntarily retires during
1 35 the fiscal year, the department or agency shall
1 36 transfer to the workforce attrition fund the remaining
1 37 amount of general fund salary and benefits, after
1 38 payment for vacation or sick leave benefits, that
1 39 would have been expended had the retired employee
1 40 remained on the payroll for the balance of the fiscal
1 41 year. In lieu of reporting in accordance with section
1 42 8.39, the department of management shall report
1 43 monthly to the legislative fiscal committee and the
1 44 legislative fiscal bureau concerning the transfers
1 45 made to the workforce attrition fund.
1 46 c. The department or agency table of organization
1 47 shall be revised to reflect the elimination of an
1 48 equivalent number of positions as retire in the
1 49 department or agency during the fiscal year. However,
1 50 if the department determines that eliminating a full-
2 1 time equivalent position would severely impact the
2 2 department's or agency's mission or services, the
2 3 department or agency may appeal to the department of
2 4 management for an exception. If the department of
2 5 management concurs with the department's or agency's
2 6 determination, the exception shall be granted, the
2 7 transfer to the workforce attrition fund shall not be
2 8 made, and the table of organization shall not be
2 9 revised.
2 10 3. Moneys transferred to the workforce attrition
2 11 fund are not subject to further transfer under section
2 12 8.39 or any other provision of law and shall not be
2 13 encumbered or obligated unless appropriated. The
2 14 moneys in the workforce attrition fund at the close of
2 15 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, shall be
2 16 transferred to the general fund of the state and the
2 17 program and fund shall be eliminated."

2 19 following:
2 20 "Sec. . Section 12.72, subsection 4, Code 2001,
2 21 is amended by striking the subsection and inserting in
2 22 lieu thereof the following:
2 23 4. a. The treasurer of state may create and
2 24 establish one or more special funds, to be known as
2 25 "bond reserve funds", to secure one or more issues of
2 26 bonds or notes issued pursuant to section 12.71. The
2 27 treasurer of state shall pay into each bond reserve
2 28 fund any moneys appropriated and made available by the
2 29 state or the treasurer for the purpose of the fund,
2 30 any proceeds of sale of notes or bonds to the extent
2 31 provided in the resolutions authorizing their
2 32 issuance, and any other moneys which may be available
2 33 to the treasurer for the purpose of the fund from any
2 34 other sources. All moneys held in a bond reserve
2 35 fund, except as otherwise provided in this chapter,
2 36 shall be used as required solely for the payment of
2 37 the principal of bonds secured in whole or in part by
2 38 the fund or of the sinking fund payments with respect
2 39 to the bonds, the purchase or redemption of the bonds,
2 40 the payment of interest on the bonds, or the payments
2 41 of any redemption premium required to be paid when the
2 42 bonds are redeemed prior to maturity.
2 43 b. Moneys in a bond reserve fund shall not be
2 44 withdrawn from it at any time in an amount that will
2 45 reduce the amount of the fund to less than the bond
2 46 reserve fund requirement established for the fund, as
2 47 provided in this subsection, except for the purpose of
2 48 making, with respect to bonds secured in whole or in
2 49 part by the fund, payment when due of principal,
2 50 interest, redemption premiums, and the sinking fund
3 1 payments with respect to the bonds for the payment of
3 2 which other moneys of the treasurer are not available.
3 3 Any income or interest earned by, or incremental to, a
3 4 bond reserve fund due to the investment of it may be
3 5 transferred by the treasurer to other funds or
3 6 accounts to the extent the transfer does not reduce
3 7 the amount of that bond reserve fund below the bond
3 8 reserve fund requirement for it.
3 9 c. The treasurer of state shall not at any time
3 10 issue bonds, secured in whole or in part by a bond
3 11 reserve fund if, upon the issuance of the bonds, the

3 13 bond reserve fund requirement for the fund, unless the
3 14 treasurer at the time of issuance of the bonds
3 15 deposits in the fund from the proceeds of the bonds
3 16 issued or from other sources an amount which, together
3 17 with the amount then in the fund will not be less than
3 18 the bond reserve fund requirement for the fund. For
3 19 the purposes of this subsection, the term "bond
3 20 reserve fund requirement" means, as of any particular
3 21 date of computation, an amount of money, as provided
3 22 in the resolutions authorizing the bonds with respect
3 23 to which the fund is established.
3 24 d. To assure the continued solvency of any bonds
3 25 secured by the bond reserve fund, provision is made in
3 26 paragraph "a" for the accumulation in each bond
3 27 reserve fund of an amount equal to the bond reserve
3 28 fund requirement for the fund. In order further to
3 29 assure maintenance of the bond reserve funds, the
3 30 treasurer shall, on or before January 1 of each
3 31 calendar year, make and deliver to the governor the
3 32 treasurer's certificate stating the sum, if any,
3 33 required to restore each bond reserve fund to the bond
3 34 reserve fund requirement for that fund. Within thirty
3 35 days after the beginning of the session of the general
3 36 assembly next following the delivery of the
3 37 certificate, the governor shall submit to both houses
3 38 printed copies of a budget including the sum, if any,
3 39 required to restore each bond reserve fund to the bond
3 40 reserve fund requirement for that fund. Any sums
3 41 appropriated by the general assembly and paid to the
3 42 treasurer pursuant to this subsection shall be

3 44 reserve fund.

3 49 establish one or more special funds, to be known as
3 50 "bond reserve funds", to secure one or more issues of
4 1 bonds or notes issued pursuant to section 12.81. The
4 2 treasurer of state shall pay into each bond reserve
4 3 fund any moneys appropriated and made available by the
4 4 state or the treasurer for the purpose of the fund,
4 5 any proceeds of sale of notes or bonds to the extent
4 6 provided in the resolutions authorizing their
4 7 issuance, and any other moneys which may be available
4 8 to the treasurer for the purpose of the fund from any
4 9 other sources. All moneys held in a bond reserve
4 10 fund, except as otherwise provided in this chapter,
4 11 shall be used as required solely for the payment of
4 12 the principal of bonds secured in whole or in part by
4 13 the fund or of the sinking fund payments with respect
4 14 to the bonds, the purchase or redemption of the bonds,
4 15 the payment of interest on the bonds, or the payments
4 16 of any redemption premium required to be paid when the
4 17 bonds are redeemed prior to maturity.
4 18 b. Moneys in a bond reserve fund shall not be
4 19 withdrawn from it at any time in an amount that will
4 20 reduce the amount of the fund to less than the bond
4 21 reserve fund requirement established for the fund, as
4 22 provided in this subsection, except for the purpose of
4 23 making, with respect to bonds secured in whole or in
4 24 part by the fund, payment when due of principal,
4 25 interest, redemption premiums, and the sinking fund
4 26 payments with respect to the bonds for the payment of
4 27 which other moneys of the treasurer are not available.
4 28 Any income or interest earned by, or incremental to, a
4 29 bond reserve fund due to the investment of it may be
4 30 transferred by the treasurer to other funds or
4 31 accounts to the extent the transfer does not reduce
4 32 the amount of that bond reserve fund below the bond
4 33 reserve fund requirement for it.
4 34 c. The treasurer of state shall not at any time
4 35 issue bonds, secured in whole or in part by a bond
4 36 reserve fund if, upon the issuance of the bonds, the
4 37 amount in the bond reserve fund will be less than the
4 38 bond reserve fund requirement for the fund, unless the
4 39 treasurer at the time of issuance of the bonds
4 40 deposits in the fund from the proceeds of the bonds
4 41 issued or from other sources an amount which, together
4 42 with the amount then in the fund will not be less than
4 43 the bond reserve fund requirement for the fund. For
4 44 the purposes of this subsection, the term "bond
4 45 reserve fund requirement" means, as of any particular
4 46 date of computation, an amount of money, as provided
4 47 in the resolutions authorizing the bonds with respect
4 48 to which the fund is established.

4 50 secured by the bond reserve fund, provision is made in

5 2 reserve fund of an amount equal to the bond reserve
5 3 fund requirement for the fund. In order further to
5 4 assure maintenance of the bond reserve funds, the
5 5 treasurer shall, on or before January 1 of each
5 6 calendar year, make and deliver to the governor the
5 7 treasurer's certificate stating the sum, if any,
