Sec. 1. (a) The board may establish and maintain a reserve fund for each issue of bonds or notes in which there shall be deposited or transferred:

(1) all money appropriated by the general assembly for the purpose of the fund in accordance with section 4(a) of this chapter;

(2) all proceeds of bonds or notes required to be deposited in the fund by terms of a contract between the bank and its holders or a resolution of the bank with respect to the proceeds of bonds or notes;

(3) all other money appropriated by the general assembly to a reserve fund; and

(4) any other money or funds of the bank that it decides to deposit in the fund.

     (b) Subject to section 4(b) of this chapter, money in any reserve fund shall be held and applied solely to the payment of the interest on and principal of bonds or notes of the bank as the interest and principal become due and payable and for the retirement of bonds or notes. The money may not be withdrawn if a withdrawal would reduce the amount in the reserve fund to an amount less than the required debt service reserve, except for payment of interest then due and payable on bonds or notes and the principal of bonds or notes then maturing and payable, whether by reason of maturity or mandatory redemption, for which payments other money of the bank is not then available. As used in this chapter, “required debt service reserve” means, as of the date of computation, the amount required to be on deposit in the reserve fund as provided by resolution or trust agreement of the bank.

     (c) Money in any reserve fund in excess of the required debt service reserve, whether by reason of investment or otherwise, may be withdrawn at any time by the bank and transferred to another fund or account of the bank, subject to the provisions of any agreement with the holders of any bonds or notes.
