Proceeds of any of the docks facilities revenue bonds may also be applied to pay the costs of any surety bonds or bonds that the department may cause to be deposited in a reserve account to further secure the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any docks facilities revenue bonds. The proceeds of the docks facilities revenue bonds remaining after paying the expenses of their sale and issuance and the costs of any such surety bond or bonds shall be deposited by the department in a special fund called the Docks Facilities Construction and Acquisition Account and, if so required by order of the director, with one or more trustees or escrow agents in an interest account to pay interest on docks facilities revenue bonds, and in a reserve account to further secure the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any docks facilities revenue bonds. Moneys in the Docks Facilities Construction and Acquisition Account may be invested by the department in government securities or other investments in accordance with the orders pursuant to which the docks facilities revenue bonds are issued. The Docks Facilities Construction and Acquisition Account shall be subject to be drawn on by the director, upon the approval of the Governor, but only for the purpose of paying costs of acquiring, constructing, equipping, and improving docks facilities (including the acquisition of property necessary for such acquisition, construction, and equipment and improvement) and to prepay the department's lease obligations with respect to the industrial board project and to purchase the industrial board project. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, moneys of the department may be used from time to time as provided by any authorizing order of the director to replenish withdrawals from any reserve account created pursuant to this section. Interest earnings derived from the investment of any proceeds of docks facilities revenue bonds shall be disposed of as may be provided by the order of the director authorizing the issuance of docks facilities revenue bonds.
