The Department of Environmental Protection has heretofore issued $3,402,615,000 Preservation 2000 Revenue and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1991A through 2000A of which $2,504,870,000 in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on December 31, 2000.

The Bonds shall not be secured by a pledge of the full faith and credit or the taxing power of the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof.

The estimate of funds pledged to the Bonds indicates that sufficient monies can be pledged to exceed the debt service requirements of the proposed issue and that in no State fiscal year will the monies pledged for the debt service requirement of the proposed issue be less than the required coverage amount.

If those amendments are approved, the State Board of Administration staff will begin the formal rulemaking process to adopt the amended version of the Investment Policy Statement by rule.
