A. A project in the Capital Outlay Budget Act may be declared “impossible or impractical” by the State Bond Commission. A certificate showing reasons in sufficient detail shall be signed by the head of the Facility Planning and Control Section of the Division of Administration, secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development, the chairmen of the respective boards of commissioners of the various ports, or the head of the agency, political subdivision or board, whichever is appropriate, and filed with the State Bond Commission. Upon a determination by the State Bond Commission that proceeding with such a project or the funding thereof through the issuance of general obligation bonds is impractical or impossible, the Bond Commission may then proceed with a sale of general obligation bonds for other projects in the Capital Outlay Budget Act without regard to the priority of the unfunded projects determined to be impossible or impractical.
B. Upon recommendation by the appropriate person or agency, if it is determined at any time that proceeding with the project or with the funding thereof is no longer impossible or impractical, the Bond Commission may rescind the certificate of impossibility or impracticality and may proceed with the project or with the issuance of general obligation bonds to fund the project.
