Notwithstanding any other provision of law and subject to approval by the fiscal committee of the general court of a comprehensive development plan for the former Pease Air Force Base prepared and submitted by the authority, the governor and council may award an unconditional state guarantee of the principal and interest thereon of bonds issued under this section. The full faith and credit of the state shall be pledged for any such guarantees of principal and interest, but the total amount of the principal of bonds guaranteed by the state under this section shall not exceed $35,000,000, plus interest. The comprehensive development plan shall include the designation and delineation of a research district within the bounds of the former Pease Air Force Base. The governor, with the advice and consent of the council, is authorized to draw a warrant for such a sum out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of honoring any guarantee awarded under this section. The state's guarantee shall be evidenced on each guaranteed bond by an endorsement signed by the state treasurer in substantially the following form:
The state of New Hampshire hereby unconditionally guarantees the payment of the whole of the principal and interest thereon of the within bond and for the performance of such guarantee the full faith and credit of the state are pledged.
