2. Provide that these obligations will be general obligations of the state, backed by the full faith and credit, revenue and taxing power of the state.
3. Provide that direct obligations of the state, including obligations referred to above, may not be issued if the amount required for future fiscal year payment of debt service on state direct obligations to be paid from the state general revenue fund or net lottery proceeds would exceed five percent of the total expenditures of the state from the general revenue fund or net lottery proceeds would exceed five percent of the total estimated revenues of the state for the general revenue fund and from net lottery proceeds during the fiscal year in which the particular obligations are to be issued.
