returned by the board to the General Fund from moneys received from
the sale of bonds sold for the purpose of carrying out this title.

proceeds, and may use or direct the use of those proceeds or earnings
to pay any rebate, penalty, or other payment required under federal
law, or take any other action with respect to the investment and use
