Explanation
(This amendment replaces $10.0 million the second year of the total $135.9 million in Literary Fund proceeds, which currently are diverted to support SOQ retirement costs. The restored Literary Fund proceeds will be used for direct loans for school construction projects on the First Priority Waiting List, which as of January 2005, included 49 projects totaling $253.7 million. In addition, the introduced budget provides $25.0 million for the purpose of interest rate subsidies for such projects.)
