(5) At the end of each calendar year, the authority shall certify to the governor the amount of the deficiency, if any, on deposit in the statutory reserve fund, valuing investments in such fund at face value, and there shall be included in the governor's recommended budget next submitted to the general assembly a line item appropriation in the amount equal to the deficiency in the amount required to be on deposit in the statutory reserve fund, which amount, if appropriated, shall be apportioned and paid to the authority for deposit in the statutory reserve fund. (6) Moneys on deposit in the statutory reserve fund shall be invested and reinvested from time to time by the authority in securities and obligations deemed appropriate by the authority, including securities or obligations, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes. Any earnings from such investment and reinvestment shall accrue to the benefit of the statutory reserve fund; provided, that at the end of each fiscal year, any amount in such fund in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the amount required hereby to be maintained in such fund shall revert to the general fund in accordance with the applicable provisions of the general appropriations bill. (7) The moneys held in the statutory reserve fund shall be a trust fund for the benefit of the holders of the bonds and notes of the authority issued pursuant to § 4-31-107 , and shall be paid to the authority, upon request of the authority, whenever any local government unit shall fail to make a payment required under a program loan agreement and there are insufficient state-shared taxes available to the authority to be withheld as permitted under the state loan programs to permit the payment of principal of or interest on bonds or notes of the authority issued pursuant to § 4-31-107 in accordance with the terms of such bonds or notes.
