The aggregate principal amount of such interim debentures outstanding at one time may not exceed $150,000,000. 2.

Within 15 days after the date on which such certification and request are submitted to the Secretary of the Interim Finance Committee, the Interim Finance Committee may consider the request and make a determination regarding whether to approve or disapprove the request. In determining whether to approve or disapprove the request, the Interim Finance Committee shall consider, among other things, the best interests of the State and the intent of the Legislature in enacting this provision. If the Interim Finance Committee approves the request, the Interim Finance Committee shall establish by resolution the maximum amount of such interim debentures that may be issued subject to the limitation set forth in subsection 1. 4.
