215.618, Florida Statutes, including any other continuing payments 
necessary or incidental to the repayment of the bonds, such as 
remarketing agent fees, tender agent fees, liquidity facility provider 
fees and similar fees and expenses. These funds may be used to refinance 
any or all series if it is in the best interest of the state as

as a result of a change in the interest rate, timing of issuance, or 
other circumstances, there is appropriated from the Land Acquisition 
Trust Fund an amount sufficient to pay such debt service.
