Heading: Purpose Number Two: Home, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Farm and Ranch Loans

Text: The delegates also did not discuss what sufficient sums would be as to the second purpose: home, agriculture, aquaculture, farm and ranch loans. Instead, the only discussion of DHHL loans in the 1978 Constitutional Convention history was in connection with Committee Proposal No. 14, which amended then-Article VI, to include a debt limitation on the issuance of general obligation bonds. Comm. Prop. No. 14, 1 Proceedings, at 814-25. That amendment set a ceiling on how much DHHL loans would contribute towards the State's debt limit. Id. at 822; see also 2 Proceedings, at 345-47; Debates in the Committee of the Whole on Committee Proposal No. 14, 1 Proceedings, at 468, 470-72. The delegates did not mention how much in DHHL loans the legislature should provide in the first instance, under the sufficient sums mandate.
