Any interest or profit derived from the investment of such bond proceeds shall be credited to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund.
The state treasurer shall disburse such proceeds from the sale of bonds or notes payable from the Bond Security and Redemption Fund to the appropriate agency at such time or times as such funds are required for the purposes for which said bonds or notes were issued.
